its not what is said but implied.
the years lurking and years I have been a member of this board has given me all the examples I need.
Before expressing optimism about what might be, let's look at what is. As the New York Times rightly suggests this weekend, the Hamas party platform, articulated in the 1988 Hamas Charter, provides a useful prism to understand the mentality of Hamas (a.k.a. The Islamic Resistance Movement). Just read the Hamas Charter and it will leave you utterly depressed about the prospects for Middle East peace.
| quote: |
Here are some of the lowpoints:
* Hamas is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood (Art. 2);
* Hamas' goal is Jihad and the death of Jews (Art. 7);
* Jihad is the path of Hamas, and death for Allah its most sublime belief (Art. 8);
* The land of Palestine is an Islamic inheritance (Art. 11);
* All Muslims are duty-bound to commit Jihad against Israel (Art. 12);
* Peace is not an option (Art. 13);
* Muslims everywhere are duty-bound to liberate Palestine (Art. 14);
* Muslims must study the enemy, looking for weak spots (Art. 16);
* Western culture is a Zionist plot to distance women from Islam (Art. 17)
* Women must train their children to become Jihad fighters (Art. 18);
* Enemies rule the world through intermediaries such as the United Nations (Art. 22);
* The PLO is too secular (Art. 27);
* All Arab states must support Jihad (Art. 28);
* All Muslim leaders must support Jihad (Art. 30);
* Hamas cares about human rights and religious toleration, provided all other religions live in the shadow of Islam (Art. 31);
* Peace accords are treacherous schemes of Zionists (Art. 32);
* Jihad will not end until liberation is complete (Art. 33); and
* Palestine is the navel of the earth and Jihad is our answer to the Christian Crusades (Art. 34).

At least in my view if one supports Hamas in any way shape or form, ie; on this board, one accepts Hamas' platform
That is why I have always denounced Israel and Hamas in this cluster fuck... both of them are at fault and both share the blame,
but some on this board may support Hamas just cause its the "in thing" to do....
my opinion among 1000000s in this world that we all have to live in |
And people wonder why I don't like Hamas...
This is what you get for ass-u-me-ing everyone knew what Hamas' charter was...
Someone care to point out ANYTHING is Isreal's charter that reciprocates Hamas's? Anyone? Beuler...
/yea...didn't think so...
