[Larousse2]

I just got back from being over at IDF on Facebook. They said that Israel has never been good at public relations, and they are asking for our help.

They specifically asked that we spread around the video, "Children of Hamas." Click Here

Hamas Desires DEATH—> The Last Thing They Want is Peace
Foundation For Defense of Democracy/Yidwithlid ^ | 1/3/09 | Yidwithlid
Posted on January 3, 2009 6:35:30 PM PST by Shellybenoit

“For the Palestinian people death became an industry, at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel, and the children excel. Accordingly [Palestinians] created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: We desire death as you desire life.” —Hamas Legislator Fathi Hamad:

There’s the rub, Israel is fighting an enemy who wants her destroyed and the entire nation replaced by a radical Islamic state. How can you “make peace” with people who desire death?..........

“Hamas moves on Fatah ‘collaborators’”
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The move came amid reports that the Fatah leadership in the West Bank has instructed its followers to be ready to assume power over the Gaza Strip when and if Israel’s military operation results in the removal of Hamas rule.

Fatah officials in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post that Hamas militiamen had been assaulting many Fatah activists since the beginning of the operation last Saturday. They said at least 75 activists were shot in the legs while others had their hands broken.

Wisam Abu Jalhoum, a Fatah activist from the Jabalya refugee camp, was shot in the legs by Hamas militiamen for allegedly expressing joy over the IDF air strikes on Hamas targets.

“Hamas is very nervous, because they feel that their end is nearing,” a senior Fatah official said. “They have been waging a brutal campaign against Fatah members in the Gaza Strip.””

Quest of Hamas
Washington Times ^ | Sunday, January 4, 2009 | Clifford D. May
Posted on January 3, 2009 7:01:50 PM PST by Delacon

A thought experiment — Imagine that Hamas announces it will immediately cease and desist from firing missiles into Israel, that there will be no more such attacks in the future, and that it will release Gilad Shalit, the Israel soldier kidnapped two-and-a-half years ago and held incommunicado ever since - with not even the Red Cross allowed to see him. What would happen then?

Moderate Israelis would pressure their government to make a reciprocal gesture — to stop the air attacks on Hamas’ command and control centers, release Palestinian terrorists from Israeli jails and get serious peace talks under way.

But anyone who knows anything about Hamas also knows such a scenario is implausible. Hamas was created to fight and win holy wars - not to seek peace and sing “Kumbaya” with infidels. Hamas wants a Palestinian state in place of Israel - not next door to Israel. And for Hamas, preventing Palestinian carnage is not a priority. That’s not a slander; it’s a fact. As Hamas parliamentarian Fathi Hamad eloquently phrased it: “We desire death as you desire life.”

In 2005, Israelis undertook a real-life experiment: They said: “The Palestinians have a grievance: our occupation of Gaza and the West Bank - even though we administer those territories as the consequence of a war launched to annihilate us. But if our presence provokes violence, let’s see what results from our absence.” That summer, Israel pulled every soldier and settler out of Gaza. Every house of worship and cemetery was removed. But greenhouses were left behind.

Palestinians might have responded by using those greenhouses to grow flowers for export. They might have built factories, schools, hospitals and hotels along their Mediterranean beaches.
