As I have said on a couple of other threads...Hamas are a bunch of terrorists. There rhetoric and their actions prove this. They have risen to power as a terrorist group and, unfortunately, the majority of the people in the Palestinian areas have chosen those terrorists to represent them.
In answer to the question of "why"...which is the question that liberals and enemies of this nation always ask rhetorically (meaning that they think it is our fault), my answer is simply this:
The hate that Hamas, the PLO, and the other Islamic radical/fundamental and terrorist organizations has spread for decades in the west bank and gaza to their young has taken root. The same thing happned in the 1930s.
Since that is clearly the case...the peace loving palestinians, how ever many of them there are left, had best leave post haste. It is only going to get worse.
Ultimately the whole lot of them will have to be put down HARD (including the ones like them in Iran and Syria and wherever else), just like we had to put Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan down hard and for the same reasons. After putting them down hard, we had to, in essences, start them over from scratch with no rabid Nazis or imperialists left among them to spread their hate.
THAT is where this is heading.
The hate and political philosophy I fear has also taken DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP roots in the Democrat Party.
