Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
You forgot a very large puke alert.
"Waaaaaaa.... we rocket their cities and they have the gall to return fire!!!"
Stunned at the Post printing this garbage...... Wouldn't bother me a bit if the Israelis leveled everything from their southern border to the Suez Canal.....
>>Haniya was born in the Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza. His parents became refugees after they fled their homes in what is now the city of Ashkelon in Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. In 1987, he graduated from the Islamic University of Gaza with a degree in Arabic literature. In 1989, he was incarcerated for three years by Israeli authorities, and following his release in 1992, he was deported to Lebanon. A year later, he returned to Gaza and was appointed as Dean of the Islamic University.
After the release from prison in 1997 of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Hamas' spiritual leader, Haniya was appointed to head his office. He was targeted by the Israeli Army for his alleged involvement in attacks against Israeli citizens. Following a suicide bombing in Jerusalem in 2003, he was slightly injured on his hand by an Israeli Air Force bomb attack attempting to eliminate the Hamas leadership. His position within Hamas continued to strengthen during the Al-Aqsa Intifada due to his relationship with Yassin, and because of the elimination of much of the Hamas leadership by the Israeli Security Forces. In December 2005, Haniya was elected to head the Hamas list, which in January 2006 won the Palestinian Legislative Council elections.
On February 16, 2006, Hamas nominated Haniya for Palestinian Prime Minister, and was formally presented as such to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on February 20.<<
All it takes is an intelligent reader to understand it. Mr. Haniyah wants all land captured in '67 returned, Jerusalem re-partitioned, and the 1948 refugees and their descendants returned to their land in Israel (or - perhaps - very handsomely compensated).
Since when is a state which wins a war expected to return its conquests to the losers? Since when do those expelled losers have the right to return and claim "their" lands?
Read the document with reasonable care and Mr. Haniyah is saying that Hamas wants the destruction of Israel as the price of peace. He's also saying that the Palestinians are at war with Israel...so who gives a shit what happens to them?
It's important to remember what Jabotinsky said 75 years ago - there's no right and wrong here, the Jews want a state of their own in their ancient homeland but the Palestinians, who've thought of that land as a home for a thousand years, don't want to let them have it.
Typical garbage from the Washington Compost.

Another case of "Journalism Under False Pretenses".
Translation: "the US and Israel have refused to fund terrorism. We can't understand why, since they, and the Europeans have always been willing to do so in the past."
The stated intention of that strategy was to force the average Palestinian to "reconsider" her vote when faced with deepening hardship;
As if a "her" had anything to say in this or any other Mohammedan state, but I guess it plays well with your useful idiots in the Academy.
its failure was predictable,
And that is why your government is on the verge of collapse.
The "kidnapped" Israeli Cpl. Gilad Shalit is only a pretext for a job scheduled months ago.
In which case, you have only to release him and expose the Israeli and US duplicity for what it is. You are in a no-lose position with respect to Cpl. Shalit: if you release him and are wrong, the military operation will end. If you release him and are correct, you'll gain an immediate legitimacy, at the cost of sparing the life of a single Jew--something you can certainly make up for later. But of course, the idea that one can disprove an hypothesis by submitting it to an empirical test is not one that connects to the Arab "mind."
(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)
