Whether this ideology seeks to impose itself world wide or within a limited territory should not matter; because oppression is oppression, subjugation is subjugation. He seems to also judge the entire Hamas organisation based on a piece of paper that was written many many years ago. You should read ‘Hamas: The Unwritten Chapters’ by Azzam Tamimi, it’ll give you some insight into the intricacies of Hamas. If we base our judgement of people or organisations on pieces of paper, then Israel would have been dismissed from the UN, attacked by the US, (under the auspices of the UN), perhaps even militarily, for non-compliance of UN resolutions; and, more personally, I wouldn’t have to go to an interview on Thursday, because my potential employers should already know that I am capable of doing the job by virtue of my impressive CV (or resume, if you’re American). Hamas have proven to be more pragmatic and more open to compromise than you’re willing to acknowledge; despite winning the elections and being given a clear mandate to rule the entire Palestinian territories, they have extended their hands to form a government of national unity and have clearly rejected the ‘imposition’ of their ideology on their people (not because it is a bad ideology, but because the people are not ready for such an ideology, nor have they chosen it – bombshells your argument of imposing Islam on people (Let there be no compulsion in religion) – when you quote, you should quote within context and consider the entirety rather than picking and chosing what suits you; when you use examples from history, you should also try to look at the entirety too, rather than pick and choose what suits you), they have served the Palestinian people before they came into politics through their plethora of social and welfare initiatives and they are attempting to serve the Palestinians within the scope of politics too.

They have even bent over backwards to attempt to observe a truce with this treacherous zionist entity, going against some of the very people and organisations that you (Hector) would place in the same category (eg, Al Qaeda and even some moderate groups). The only crime that Hamas have committed is to stay steadfast to the path of resistance (acknowledged as legitimate by the UN, by the AU, by the EU, by every legal and international institution) and refuse to compromise on the basic rights of the Palestinian people (why should I compromise my right to return to my own home?); if these are crimes, then I too am a criminal and so too are every institution I have indicated above. The only reason such institutions condemn Hamas (aside from pressure from the zionists and its puppet ,the US) is because of the dodgy affiliation to ‘terrorism’ (which very few institutions are willing to define or engage in debate) and attacks on ‘civilians’; in fact the only reason Hamas is called a ‘terrorist’ organisation is because of its attacks on ‘civilians’. But who is a civilian in the zionist entity? When I spend part of my day bombarding Palestinian territories, massacring them, humiliating them; and then I come back home, take off my military gear and meet with my friends in cafes and restaurants (enjoying myself), do I become a civilian? When I train for the military and then am in constant readiness to join the military operations when I’m called up, am I a civilian? Recently, the zionist entity called up 11,000 reservists; who are these reservists? The entire population of the zionist entity acts as a reserve for the zionist occupation force (you’d consider it the Israeli Defence Force) – and this is why this conflict is so unique (where lies the battle ground? who are the combatants and non-combatants? are the beligerents equal?).

The people that can be considered civilians in the zionist entity are the children, and our hearts cry for the children who have been victims (who have incidentally not been many). The constant appeal of the Palestinian people is that ‘the entire world have left us defenceless and we have no other means to defend ourselves’; “O Lord! Give us from You a protecting friend, and a defender!” If we ask the Palestinian people to bow down, then this will set such an awful precedent, where the strong will always subjugate the weak. We did not bow down to Hitler, nor to Stalin, nor to Pol Pot, nor to Idi Amin, nor to the imperialists/colonialists despite their power and strength – we cannot let the people of Palestine bow down to the zionist entity (and the last outpost of colonialism); despite the odds!

You dont have credible arguments and faltering like a dead leaf on a dead tree….I think Im wasting the fascia on my fingers typing at you….read all the previous posts and understand before you reply

Regarding frienship-I Was never intending to make you my ‘pal’ but you are not my enemy, prima facie. I guess its your loss, you can go back into your closet and into your own world probably without any friends anyway. I guess its tough, how can people become real ‘friends of israel’ after the history of the zionists!
