    You have been slurping up too much right-wing zionist propganda. Time to start educating yourself.

    We must adjust our distorted image of Hamas

    Gaza is a secular society where people listen to pop music, watch TV and many women walk the streets unveiled

    Last week I was in Gaza. ...

    ...The political leadership of Hamas is probably the most highly qualified in the world. Boasting more than 500 PhDs in its ranks, the majority are middle-class professionals - doctors, dentists, scientists and engineers. Most of its leadership have been educated in our universities and harbour no ideological hatred towards the West. It is a grievance-based movement, dedicated to addressing the injustice done to its people. It has consistently offered a ten-year ceasefire to give breathing space to resolve a conflict that has continued for more than 60 years.

    The Bush-Blair response to the Hamas victory in 2006 is the key to today's horror. Instead of accepting the democratically elected Government, they funded an attempt to remove it by force; training and arming groups of Fatah fighters to unseat Hamas militarily and impose a new, unelected government on the Palestinians. Further, 45 Hamas MPs are still being held in Israeli jails.

    Six months ago the Israeli Government agreed to an Egyptian- brokered ceasefire with Hamas. In return for a ceasefire, Israel agreed to open the crossing points and allow a free flow of essential supplies in and out of Gaza. The rocket barrages ended but the crossings never fully opened, and the people of Gaza began to starve. This crippling embargo was no reward for peace.

          "We must adjust our distorted image of Hamas

          Gaza is a secular society "

          Hamas's own charter clearly states that their purpose is to kill all jews anywhere in the world AND to establish an Islamic State.

          So how does Islamic State suddenly equate to "secular society "

          Way is Hamas allowed to kill any jewish child, woman or man anywhere in the world. But Israel isn't allowed to defend itself from a murderous band of Mercenary's hired by Iran to kill jews?

            Spreading some al taqiyya dissent?

            I love the illegal blockade part. The borders are closed because Hamas who is the duly elected government sent out suicide bombers. They were also smuggling in missiles and other military weapons in trucks carrying medical supplies.

            Hamas started sending out missiles the first day the Israelis left and have had only short stoppages since. And you have the gall to call that a concentration camp. What foolishness.

            Read the Hamas charter. Or have you and are just doing their lies (al taqiyya)

              "Spreading some al taqiyya dissent? I love the illegal blockade part."

              you should....... it was in breach of the ceasefire agreement.

              "During the first stage of implementation, Israel is required to ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip and allow resumption of some supply shipments."

              would you like extra guacamole and corn chips with your al taqiyya?
