Hamas 'to now target women and children'

Fox News | 6/13/03

I watched with interest as a Hamas spokesman said last night that, because of Israel's repeated insistence upon defending itself, 'Hamas would now start targeting Jewish women and children.'

Is this guy on drugs, or what? Since when has Hamas NOT targeted Jewish women and children?

Or too afraid...

Of course, to some, the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian. I don't hold that opinion.

Hamas = Al Qaeda = Islamic Jihad: All are terrorists who must be destroyed

Diddos back at you. I would only amend one point. The groups that you mentioned are not even terrorists. That implies a criminal thinking that they don't even deserve. The pathology of criminals lends some distinction to their victim. In the case of Islamofacists, their problem is with Mankind in general. Their pursuit of the spiritual realm (the realm of the dead) supercedes all life including their own. These vermin are at war with We the Living.

They are cockroaches. Scrape'em off.

Who is the spokesperson for these decent Palestinians? I'm sure there probably are some decent people among them, but they are the exception not the rule. And how can you be raised in a culture of hatred and death and evil and not have it rub off on you? The Palestinian people are killing themselves with their goal of destroying Israel. They are bringing grief upon themselves. They are mere pawns of bigger entities. They allow a dictator to run their lives, they teach their children in the ways of hatred and death. No one is trying to kill the everyday Palestinians - Israel targets terrorists. Whose fault is it that the average Palestinian is poor and downcast and lacks liberty? Is it Israel's or is it the PLO's?

This is besides the point. The issue isn't whether or not the Palestinians' misery was brought about by the PA... the issue is whether or not there are decent and honest Palestinians.

Of course there are.

Just like (gasp!) during World War II, there were decent and honest Germans.

In his book A Durable Peace, Benjamin Netanyahu talks about his Palestinian contacts within the West Bank who despise Arafat and his terror organization. He doesn't name them because they would be killed.

"They are so lost in their lies, denial and murderous ways, that they have no moral compass or ability to discern truth."

The anti-christ is the arab denial and deception ( that they have no moral compass or ability to discern truth.)

[Helms]

Dude..please do not forget the living dead left from rat poison,nails etc. These will be enormous social costs.

[Helms]

Saw some of it as he s-it on himself and further exposed the Arab Lie.

[Helms]

How are they(Hamas) not the Saudi's own stealth military? Geez these perv billionaires need to by the farm or at least be lobotomized.

[tbpiper]

It looks like to me that Hamas is getting cut out of the heard, so to speak, so that you'll have Irael & Palestine trying to make peace and Hamas demonstrably trying to ruin it for everybody. The lib/UN crowd may (hopefully) find it increasingly difficult to support such openly expressed hostility against innocent civilians ('bout time and waaaay over due).

I didn't say there weren't. The fact that there are does not change the FACTS I gave - culture of death where hatred is a virtue and suicide is a noble act. Care to dispute that? Soddom had at least 10 righteous men, but Soddom was still a wicked place, so I don't get your point.

[carton253]

This tempest in a teacup started with this statement from you: Normal Palestinians - no such animal exists that I know of

I responded and said: yes, there are honest and decent Palestinians. Normal even.

I never mentioned the culture of death... I never said hatred was a virtue... and I never said suicide is a noble act. I said that there were honest and decent Palestinians.

The next thing I know you get all semper fi and now have to "win" a dispute that doesn't exist. Well, if it makes you "feel like a man"... you win!

Oh okay, You are right, should have used my words more carefully. That doesn't change any of the salient facts about their evil culture of death. By the way, in case you have forgotten, Germans and Japanese were killed by the millions in the bombing runs of WW II. I don't see anyone decrying that today. And guess what, the evil was suppressed - both populations have been passive since that time. WAR WORKS! There are only two ways to deal with evil: The gospel or the gun. When the gospel fails, it's the gun. And make no mistake, evil abounds in the West Bank and Gaza, and it abounds in all radical islamic countries. Eventually, we will have to suppress them all, or America will be next.

Don't make it personal - just stick to the arguments.

[KC_for_Freedom]

I think we are in substantial agreement.
