Israel Today ^

[RyanJones]

The Hamas terrorist organization is planning to declare the Gaza Strip an independent entity under its control.

Great, so does this mean Olmert and the State Department are going to present us two pali states? Actually tree with Jordan.

[West Coast Conservative]

Hamastan.

I hope not, we don't want to have to pay for two of 'em.

(or three)

[leadhead]

They've also declared independence from reality.

They are totally dependent on Israel, the US and others to avoid stone soup and dirt sandwiches.

[Slings and Arrows]

Let them. If they’re independent, then Israel has NO obligations to Gaza Strippers. I wonder if their Korans tell them how to obtain water, medical care, and electricity?

[SolidWood]

The UN will give them all they want.

Report: Hamas to declare independence

if they are an independent state and launch rockets...they are no longer (freedom fighters)

Israeli can then bomb an independent hostile state inciting war against Israel’s sovereignty

[American in Israel]

They have been independant for years, other than their food, fuel, phones, and power still comes from the Jews.
I guess they are going to cut all the utility lines.

Does this mean they will suddenly stop cashing all those billions of aid checks that we send them too?

Is it true that the purpose of the UN is to bypass the laws that forbid congress to aprove sending money to terrorist groups? Now we send our money to the UN who send it to Hamas. Why if Hamas stopped feeding at Americas tit by proxy, the UN could balance its budjet for a change and have two lobsters for lunch every day instead of just one.

[rbg81]

Really? Can they produce their own power and food yet? This is kinda like kids who want their own apartment as long as the ‘rents pay the bills.

[deaconjim]

Opens up a whole world of possibilities, doesn’t it?

ROTFALMAO Hamas will never declare “independence.” To be independent means to feed yourself and not live off of the charity of others.

BTW, no one has ever answered the question: Why must American taxpayers give part of their paycheck to the very people who have sworn to kill them? Huh? Huh?

[Colorado Doug]

Great! So this means that they will pay for their own power and food? Will they create jobs, become productive and stop killing?

I didn't think so.
