I do recall when one country or group intentionally destroys a another group way to sustain itself, it does fall into war crimes, along with collective punishment of a whole group of people, dont forget the raid in November by israel which killed 6 gazans, causing gazans to fire rockets, than than another raid which lead to hamas saying there be no cease-fire, along with not lifting the blockade

r.m. rants sound like the rants of iran’s president and the groups u said the holocaust did not happen. and just saying because this group is a threat to use or could be means justify killing over a thousand people now or anyone be it hamas,u.n. children, women, inocents and not allowing reporters there, does not, should not, will not work. and than to say whats is happening there is not actually happening or is just as worst as iran’s president saying the same about the jews.

both are wrong and should not have such justification for them.

What some of us have been trying to tell you is that innocent civilians have been killed on both sides, but very disproportionately on one side.

You would argue that Israel is not killing innocent people on purpose. Of what comfort, though, is it to the dead person that his killers didn’t mean to kill him? It is the result that counts. And the count of Palestinian deaths now is very high, indeed. Do you deny that simple fact?

I was going to ask if you ever heard of Deir Yassin…or Tantura…or Dawayma…or Qibya…but there are many websites that reference these massacres.

Concerning your comment about Arab children raised on anti-Israel propaganda, have you ever read Adir Cohen’s book, “An Ugly Face in the Mirror,” about raising Israeli children on anti-Arab propaganda?

Your refusal to address direct questions leaves little doubt that you have never put your feet on the ground, and that you pontificate from the safety of your desk. Go have a look around. Go and see the reality that your words support.

The truth behind your lies is transparent. It has always been obvious for those who cared to investigate, but the current slaughter of civilians in Gaza has made it plain for the world to see.

Finally, please do not assume that I support Hamas or their charter. I do not. I will return the favor – I will not assume that you are a member of the Jewish Defense League, the Jewish National Front (Baruch Marzel), Kach (Meir Kahane), Kahane Chai (Binyamin Ze’ev Kahane), the Yesha Council, or any of the other hate-spewing racist religious groups that make up the Israeli right wing.

I do support justice, human rights, and the application of international law. Do you?

THE COVENANT OF THE HAMAS – MAIN POINTS

Goals of the HAMAS:
——————
‘The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian

movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is

Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of

Palestine.’ (Article 6)

On the Destruction of Israel:
—————————–
‘Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will

obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.’ (Preamble)

The Exclusive Moslem Nature of the Area:
—————————————-
The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [Holy Possession]

consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one

can renounce it or any part, or abandon it or any part of it.’

(Article 11)

‘Palestine is an Islamic land… Since this is the case, the

Liberation of Palestine is an individual duty for every Moslem

wherever he may be.’ (Article 13)

The Call to Jihad:
——————
‘The day the enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the

individual duty of every Moslem. In the face of the Jews’ usurpation,

it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised.’ (Article 15)

‘Ranks will close, fighters joining other fighters, and masses

everywhere in the Islamic world will come forward in response to the

call of duty, loudly proclaiming: ‘Hail to Jihad!’. This cry will

reach the heavens and will go on being resounded until liberation is

achieved, the invaders vanquished and Allah’s victory comes about.’

(Article 33)

Rejection of a Negotiated Peace Settlement:
——————————————-
‘[Peace] initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and

international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of

the Islamic Resistance Movement… Those conferences are no more than

a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of

Islam… There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by

Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a

waste of time, an exercise in futility.’ (Article 13)

Condemnation of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty:
———————————————-

‘Egypt was, to a great extent, removed from the circle of struggle

[against Zionism] through the treacherous Camp David Agreement. The

Zionists are trying to draw other Arab countries into similar

agreements in order to bring them outside the circle of struggle.

…Leaving the circle of struggle against Zionism is high treason,

and cursed be he who perpetrates such an act.’ (Article 32)

Anti-Semitic Incitement:
————————

‘The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and

kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the

rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind

me, come and kill him.’ (Article 7)

‘The enemies have been scheming for a long time … and have

accumulated huge and influential material wealth. With their money,

they took control of the world media… With their money they stirred

revolutions in various parts of the globe… They stood behind the

French Revolution, the Communist Revolution and most of the

revolutions we hear about… With their money they formed secret

organizations – such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs and the Lions -

which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies

and carry out Zionist interests… They stood behind World War I …

and formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the

world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge

financial gains… There is no war going on anywhere without them

having their finger in it.’ (Article 22)

‘Zionism scheming has no end, and after Palestine, they will covet

expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates River. When they have

finished digesting the area on which they have laid their hand, they

will look forward to more expansion. Their scheme has been laid out

in the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’.’ (Article 32)

‘The HAMAS regards itself the spearhead and the vanguard of the

circle of struggle against World Zionism… Islamic groups all over

the Arab world should also do the same, since they are best equipped

for their future role in the fight against the warmongering Jews.’

(Article 32)

..”eight years ago hamas was not a factor “.please don’t make a fool of yourself …..As far as I can see , maybe you are not in the pocket of hamas , but hamas has you in their pocket ….”.low level operative ” are you playing spy ? be careful …These people are not playing games ,they might want to have you as “Martyrs” just like rachel corrie …..
……………I am certainly not surprised especially since the hatred has always been there ,its a known fact … .As long as their children are taught lies and hatred against Jews , it will never go away ..don’t tell me you have not watched the Arab TV?or you don’t believe that either ..Do you have children and would you teach it to them ?.. anyone who really love their children , would never teach them to hate ….After the genocide of Jews by the Germans ….Did you ever see them become homicidal bombers against the innocent German population? What about the one million Jews kicked out of Arab countries ,all their possessions confiscated…never one single UN resolution ….NO …they just restarted their lives all over again ……Why are you not taking their sides ?They were refugees,?
.I called Andrew Dral a liar because he repeats hamas and hamas are liars ….if you were watching carefully the time line of this recent conflict , you would know its a lie …..I am not going to start writing a book for you ….its all documented and you can look it up.in various non bias newspapers ..after eight years of patience and truces broken ..I think Israel had a right to stop the rockets falling on its civilians ..The reason not many Israelis get hurt , is because Israel protects them in shelters and don’t use them as shields …..again hamas had a choice ….but they keep sending rockets ……Did you tell hamas to stop sending rockets?. You find Camera bias because it takes apart the misinformation and tears it to pieces ……..Anyway …maybe you should freshen up a bit about the history of the conflict ….(.with a non bias book ….)….instead of playing revolutionaries ..”.low level operative” hahahahah ….who are you kidding……grow up…..

It is inconvenient when the truth shines through:
