Nervous Palestinians Circulate Hamas Jokes

Those jokes aren't funny at all. The Palestinians should come here and read the comments about their "country". Then they'd see real humor.

It must be pretty bad when even the Fatah nutjobs make jokes about you.

I give them 6 months before infighting reduces them to an even lower form of barbarity.

a discount on taxes for Christians who convert to Islam within a week

Not a joke, that would earn an exemption from the dhimmi tax.

"We in Hamas intend to implement this tax (i.e., the jizya) someday. We say it openly – we welcome everyone to Palestine but only if they agree to live under our rules.”
Hassam El-Masalmeh, Hamas municipal council head, Bethlehem, Dec, 2005

"Rest assured we don't impose our thoughts on anyone," Hamas leader Khaled Maashal said Saturday in the Syrian capital, Damascus. "We will present our thoughts to our people and they have the right to choose."

A muslim's right to choose, acceptance or death!

LOL!!!!!

It is always fun and laughs until someone is buried up to their neck and pelted to death with sharp rocks for looking sideways at a man who is not their husband.

Voyage + Handbasket = Hell.

Is that movie worth renting ?

[rlmorel]

Yep. Sad and funny at the same time. Kind of like Sweet and Salty.

I like Islamic humor.

"As one goes, all police stations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have been ordered shut because all complaints must now be filed directly to God."

ROFL

It's in theaters now, if I'm not mistaken.

I happen to like Albert Brooks, but I wouldn't pay ten dollars to watch it in a theater.

Then again, I wouldn't pay that amount to watch any movie for that matter.

Albert Brooks though is a fantastic comedian.

we don't impose our thoughts on anyone," Hamas leader Khaled Maashal said Saturday

We just kill them.

"The new rulers will change our traditions and impose a Taliban rule."

That would probably be good. Let the Palestinians taste the coffee for a while. Maybe they'll prefer tea or booze after they've had enough.

Somehow a joke that begins, "A priest, a rabbi and a Hamas leader walked into a bar. . ." doesn't predict a funny outcome.

[randog]

Prediction: The left in this country and other western nations will use Hamas-run Gaza as an example of what would happen if "neo-cons" took complete control.

we don't impose our thoughts on anyone

Actually, I believe imposing their thoughts on others is the Islamic way of life. Here's a link to a example right here in the USA.

"Rest assured we don't impose our thoughts on anyone," Hamas leader Khaled Maashal said Saturday in the Syrian capital, Damascus. "We will present our thoughts to our people and they have the right to choose...

...our way or die."
