As Hamas takes on Israel, not all in Gaza are cheering

The surge in popularity Hamas receives each time it unleashes rockets on Israel is predictable by now. The frustration voiced by Palestinians in Gaza who blame Hamas for pursuing its own interests while their homes get reduced to rubble is less expected.[snip] “Even those, like me, who were all the time criticizing Hamas … now we have to raise up our hats,” [snip] “I feel proud that after 60 years of [Israel] raping our lands we have an army, an army that can hit Israel,” says Ms. al-Lolo, who lives in Gaza City.

So Hamas gets all rowdy and attacks Israel every few years.

Then they whine when there is retaliation. I have an idea...Hamas...just don’t do it. Build a country and show that you are capable.

Then the UN gets all wee weed up.

O.K....I got it.

BiBi does not need to let up.

The Paleostinians voted for the HAMAS in Gaza. They wanted to change the old FATAH PLO Old Guard. Instead they got a terror regime that invests funds ONLY in rocket making and plans to kill Jews. The Israel Defense Force is the ONLY ARMY IN THE WORLD pinpoint targeting terror sites AND tell the residents to clear the building before and actual bombing hit. WHO ELSE DOES THIS? Despite the effort to not hit innocents, Israel is chastised anyways so I say, level Gaza and then wait for the Goldstone III Report. No other country on the planet would tolerate 14 years of INDESCRIMIANTE incoming rocket fire.

...indiscriminate

Let me see, we have one country in the Middle East, Israel, with about eight million people who despite being one of the world’s most civilized countries and a strong contributor to science and medicine is constantly threatened by countries around her whose citizens contribute next to nothing on terms of science and medicine but continually oppress females and try to kill or subjugate people who are not of their religion, Islam. Which side should I champion? (snicker)

See what Bob said about that

Neighborhood Bully by Bob Dylan

[don-o]

Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He’s the neighborhood bully

Thanks LeoWindhorse.

Doesn't sound too unhappy and nonsupportive to me. IOW, typical CS Monitor shill piece -- "see? There are moderates among the Arabs! And Israel just kills civilians instead of negotiating with the radicals running things."
