The religion of peace, praise be upon it, has shown itself once again that is nothing more than the Nazi’s with a beard and a turban....and they are doing it to their own people as well.

It’s no surprise, says Toameh, that more and more Palestinians, especially those living in poverty-stricken Gaza, began to believe “Islam is the solution” and turned to Hamas.

Right, it’s worked so well elsewhere.

Jonathan Alterman, of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said: “One of the things we haven’t seen yet in the Palestinian community is the rise of al-Qaeda or Qaeda-like groups. We could well have that in Gaza, not in three years’ time, but in one year’s time.”

What planet is this bozo living on?

Hamas does not give a damn if Gaza is a basket case. In fact, it suit’s Hamas’ purposes for Gaza to be a basket case. The worse it is, the better it is for Hamas.

Dont you just love the spin? After what they did with the executions in front of families, people thrown off rooftops, etc. and now Hamas points out the “Look at the law and order we have brought to Gaza?” The logic of terrorists once again rears its ugly head. Even if most governments are speaking out against them, they have the undying support of Syria and Iran, so why should they care what everyone else thinks?

I think the Palistinians are on the verge of getting their own state.

"And are they going to talk to the Israelis about reopening the border crossings to get aid in and also ensure that water and electricity is still supplied to Gaza?"

What? Why???? Why should Israel/the world aid these murderous thugs?

""People thrown off the rooftops of 10-storey (sic) buildings, Palestinians shooting other Palestinians at point blank, others shot in front of their families."

When I first heard of the building tosses I was amazed. Not due to the violence - we've come to expect that of them. I just didn't know these savages has the wherewithal to construct a 10-story building...

And we will succumb to "humanitarian" pressure to feed Gaza.

And we will increase our support for Abbas and Fatah, in the hopes of strengthening the "moderate" terrorists. Yet, the terminally corrupt Abbas and Fatah are friggin' doomed in the West Bank, as well.

On the other hand, Israel and the U.S. could simply flood the area with cheap weapons, then seal the borders -- letting the problem solve itself.

But, in the end, we will support both sides -- against ourselves.

So Hamas is in control but do they really think people won't forget what has happened given our culture of pay-back and revenge?"

And thats it in a nutshell. Those people dont deserve toilet paper, much less Statehood. Oh wait, they dont use toilet paper..

The interesting thing here is the fact that both sides live together. In most civil wars there is at least some separation of opposing sides. In our civil war there was some mixing but the lines were fairly clear.

What we’re seeing there is Thunder dome on a grand scale.

This religion of peace needs a few nukes at their doorstep - NOW! I still can't ever forget GW calling it the above. That ranks up there with his newly adopted bro, Bubba, when he wiggeled his finger at us & said he had no sexual relationship with THAT WOMEN.

All the naysayers who complained about Israel pulling out of Gaza are getting their comeuppance.
