Hamas control of Gaza reaches one year - 13 Jun 08

[buddybleau]

The Palestinian's have been attacking Israel for the longest time. Now Hamas is doing to them as they tried to do to Israel. What goes around.

[vistavision2]

Peace will come about when War Crimes Tribunals are established for the conflict to hold the perpetrators accountable.

OR

When Palestinians can unite in a Unifed Command structure to Israeli force compliance with international law UNSC 242 , UNGA 181, UN Charter & Laws of Armed Conflict.

[nicedice02]

Isrealis are really asking for it.

[EmilyGreene1984]

The only one who is really asking for it is Hamas.

[nicedice02]

Israel's are nothing but fat mucle heads with money wanting power

US polititans are afraid to speak against the Israels.

People speak up let the Palestinians have their land and peace.

Gaza belongs to the Palestinians

[jimiydoorshamelech]

Since the Hamas takeover of Gaza (mid-June 2007), a total of 13,144 patients have crossed from Gaza into Israel for treatment.

[Q45t]

I'll be honest. I can't tell the difference between a Jew and an Arab the both look the same. However I would rather live next to a Jew any day of the week. Before you comment, I an American, no I am not the smartest person in the world. I only know what I see and hear and that is what I base my opinion on.

I have never once heard of a Jew targeting women and children to murder in their God's name and as far as I know no Jew has flown planes into buildings either.

[peakyone]

Hammas is the problem. Islam is the problem.

Peace can only come when palistine is no more.

[mahsih2007]

Peaky: What do you know about Hammas and Islam ???

[peakyone]

I know that hasmmas fires rockets into Isreal everyday to provoke them into more violence.

They are the reason there is trouble going on all the time.

[KufrAkbar]

al-Jazeera will be giving one of their "exclusive" pro-terrorism reports in Arabic today or tomorrow. But this time, they had to choose between lionizing the terrorist Hamas gang and lionizing the terrorist Jaish al-Islam gang. Since the latter is the more bombastic and the more brainlessly Islamic, they chose the latter.

[aadotorg]

long live Israel

[khalsachoa]

fuck isreal fuckin jews

[shlomof]

Oh what a beautiful woman in Gaza under the Hamas rule...

Youtube:

"A Poor Palestinian Woman In Gaza"

[14grig6perl41]

Israeli siege?! Who gave Israel the thankless responsibility of powering and feeding Gaza in the first place? Gazans are miserable because of Hamas, not Israel. IDF tries to attack Hamas, inevitably killing civilians because Hamas uses them as human shields.

[muslimwhisper]

HAHAHAHA NEWS TODAY ,HAMAS FUCKING PUSSIES ,

JERUSALEM — Israel officially confirmed Wednesday that a cease-fire with the Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip will begin in an effort to end a year of fighting that has killed more than 400 Palestinians and seven Israelis.

[reyy619]

right on brother!

[NimDod]

sucks to be an arab when the country you live in doesnt have any oil under its ground, huh?

[reyy619]

fuck you.

[Maxwedge12000]

Hamas = masked morons, palestinians = parasites living off of aid from others. Let the war continue, winner take all.

[reyy619]

fuck you.

[Maxwedge12000]

How long did it take you to think up that intellectual response? LOL

[reyy619]

a few days...

i'm going to be honest.

i was not in the mood to type and i was very pissed off...so i just wrote fuck you.

but the point is..how can you call hamas masked moron if all they are doing is fighting for there land?

if you call hamas masked morons then call dead americans soldiers stupid fuck tarts with a m16 and they will all burn in hell..how do you like that?

[Maxwedge12000]

We are both entitled to our opinions. My main concern with the palestinians is the land they claim as theirs was stolen from others during the arab conquests. Their position is hypocritical. "It's ok if we steal land from others, but no one better steal our land".

[reyy619]

ok think about it!

america was stolen....

spain was stolen....

i did not here one thing you said about america being stolen because your a bigot asshole.... its ok to demolish people's home just because of there race and beliefs?

no its not ok...

screw isreal...the muslim will get palastine and lebenon back...but they will also conquer isreal also!

[Maxwedge12000]

I repeat, the arabs stole all the land that is now Iraq, Lebanon, syria, palestine, egypt and northern africa during the arab conquests. The arabs can have no claim to others returning stolen land to them until they return to the arab peninsula and vacate all the land they stole from others.

[reyy619]

fine americans have to return america to the native americans..and go back to europe.

[Maxwedge12000]

I am not suggesting anyone should vacate the nations they are currently in, that is the palestinian position. It is they that are hypocrites for not vacating the land they stole while demanding others leave the lands they stole. It is laughable. Why do you think the world does not care? Most people came from somewhere else.

[reyy619]

america is building a wall to keep mexicans out....its the mexican people's land!

they are indegenous to that land and what does america do?

put up a fence...so america is hypocrite.

[Maxwedge12000]

No reyy, the USA is not hypocritical and they are calling on no one to vacate the land they are currently on. That hypocrisy is reserved for the goofy palestinians.

[reyy619]

lol!

isreal is demolishing the homes of people that live in palastine!

so they are FORCING them to vacate there land.

[UU568]

In your fucking dreams asshole Israel is for the jews, just let the arabs do something about it I fucking dare them

[reyy619]

lol..what the hell are you gonna do about it?

isreal was palastine's land but isreal stole it...so we will get it back...this 40 year war will not end until we get it back...i say throw a nuke into isreal and then the jews will leave. but if not then we will go in and TAKE THEM OUT...

and no one is going to do shit about it!

your army of pussies (u.s army) wont be able to do anything.

when the whole muslime world unite's then no will be able to do any thing!

allahu akbar!

[Maxwedge12000]

What do you mean reyy "we". You live in the good ole USA. You need to go to gaza and help your people fight and die not just sit in front of your computer being a keyboard jihadi. LOL

Reyy joins the intifada and send Isreal nasty emails. ROFL

[reyy619]

i am from bosnia....not palastine..

[Maxwedge12000]

Irrelevant. You keep using the term "we". If you are muslim then you are part of the ummah and need to go defend your muslim brothers and sisters instead of spending your days ranting on the internet.

[reyy619]

BOSNIAN/SERBIAN WAR....i fought for my muslim brothers and sisters..

[krum369]

Damn those ignorant jews

[SDTPW]

ummmmm. read a book, go over what you just wrote, then, and ONLY then, we will talk.

[TAMARLANE]

Sharon knew that Fatah and Hamas woud fight each other after he pulled out of Gaza. He was counting on it.

[Zile77]

Palestinians have proven to have bad generals, having trapped themselves against the sea. Electing Hamas was another terrible blunder by the idiots. Without the Jews, they'd all be dead by now because they don't know anything but violence and terror.

[cocksman62028]

you idiots find more excuses for terrorist than anyone hahaha

[cocksman62028]

no one installed hitler into germany hahahahahaha wow. and the israeli gov isnt atheists hahaha idiots

[blibertad]

I will fight with you one day, Palestine.

All love to all oppressed peoples, we are

the image of God.

[BlueberryToes]

Hamas won the elections but because israel and usa didnt like it they were not allowed do govern by democratic ways...

Is ironic cuz Usa was the one who invited Hamas to run in the elctions probably hoping they wont win.

[pathanzamir]

dear palestines if keep finght amongs your self and it will very easy for the Jews their work. if you unite they can not face you, this is danmm sure

[Canada1953]

Dyamba19 how could you lead a coup against yourself?

[Dyamba19]

Fatah had seat in parliament to, they were the ones who were ousted. And I can't even being to explain how poorly you phrased your question.

[freeman1104]

The Palestinian will have a friend in US when Barack Obama takes over the White House. He is sure to appoint Jeremiah Wright as Secretary of State and the Reverend is a friend of Palestinian people.

[Mrpastry909]

You're nuts.

Wright as SoS? You should start taking your meds again.

[012angels]

It is the western-Israel press that says Hamas launched the coup. Hamas won the election. Dahlen, paid by US was planning executions, Hamas kicked him out. They are doing what they have been elected to do, governing. Read Vanityfair article cited below. Fatah ran leaving behind many incriminating papers proving their complicity with Israel & US in destroying elected government of Palestine.

[Canada1953]

Holy shit! This is so depressing........

[Canada1953]

Can someone explain to me how could Hamas oust Fatah from power if Hamas won the election there?

[Sultan1923]

They did oust Fatah from power in Gaza, but it was no coup. Hamas was defending itself against Fatah, who didn't want to share political and administrative power with Hamas, even though Hamas was voted into the majority of parliament.

[Freischuetzdx]

Fatah takeover of westbank reaches one year.

[heart4karbala]

alhumdillah mubarak palistine we must support all who say la illaha illa lah muhammedurrasullah.Takbir

[EdyPegasus]

Listen, it is both sides that are uncomprimising.

Second, why does Gaza have to rely so much upon Israel. No state can be so reliant on its neigbors. Yes i do feel that the gates should open but will this bring peace, no.

What will, i do not know. Maybe both sides stop attacking each other...

[segits]

program states:" ...Hamas's uncompromising policies". This can only be a fact if we see and understand the reflection of Israel's uncompromising policies.

[JJJadm]

even before Hamas took over,Israel was killing people and demolishing houses.

[wb678]

God Bless Palestine!

[acknumbers]

chariet hand outs....or they can ash arafats wife for the 600 million they jacked....or at least just sell her 3,ooo,ooo $ luxury apartment in paris and build affordable housing for the " refugees"..........

[PauloGVieira]

You and Hamas share the same criticism of Fatah.

[lastnymleft]

acknumbers: Israel has more than it's share of scum leaders, too. Olmert currently has no fewer that FOUR separate investigations going on into different incidents of personal corruption. And Sharon was the same. Israel has had leaders that either were outright terrorists and/or corrupt, since inception.

[ultbeatlesfan]

Hamas wants Israel to supply Gaza with Israeli products while Hamas hits Southern Israel with mortars and missiles. Hello?

[DonSimonBolivar]

Hello you would to if the Zionist continue to build on their land. After all Israel was built becuase the jews fled the West. Hello? So come back to the people who persecuted you! Don't run and hide from them they are just using you as tools against another group of people. Hello?

[PauloGVieira]

Hamas has asked that its international border with Egypt be opened. Hamas has said that it will work towards ending rocket fire when the siege against Gaza ends.

Im certainly no fan of either Fatah or Hamas but you're clearly an idiot.

[segits]

It it childish to put all responsibility on Hamas. Israel, USA and others have a lot to do with greatly influencing the deprivasion also.

[PauloGVieira]

And let us not forget that in the West Bank, particularly Hebron and Bethlehem, Palestinians continue to live under such a siege and these are run by western-alligned Fatah.

[ultbeatlesfan]

Palestinians live under seige because they want war. Do you understand that? If they want war, they shouldn't expect to be treated kindly by the people they want to kill, OK? Get a grip on reality, friend.

[PauloGVieira]

Palestinians want war? It was Israeli settlers into Palestine that introduced terrorism into the region in the 1940s. It was Israel who expelled 800,000 Palestinians from their land in 1948 and you are telling me it is the Palestinians who want war and Israel has no partner for peace!

Each side is about as bad as the other.

You poor deluded American! Cant think for yourself so you need to regurgitate what Fox news tells you to think.

[ultbeatlesfan]

Of course Palestinians want war!  Why else would they vote Fascist Hamas into office? Fascist Hamas wants to ethnically cleanse all Jews from Israel just as they ethnically cleansed Gaza. Is Fascist Hamas your idea of a good peace partner?

[PauloGVieira]

Oh dear, lets bring some truth and reality into this argument. Hamas are not charged with peace negotiations with Israel as that is the job of the PA President. The PA President is Abbas and he was voted on a platform of negotiations with Israel and a solution based on the 1967 boundaries.

Hamas didnt ethnically cleanse Gaza but Israel certainly cleansed 800,000 Palestinians from Israel.

Stupid Americans, think they know but they dont know much.

[ArtypNk]

Shit everywhere.

[arshsingh1984]

this whole situation is sad

[heiroftheempire]

finally the dumbass palestinians are realizing hamas is bad.

[Franco187]

The secret plan backfired.

Some sources call the scheme "Iran-contra 2.0"

David Wurmser, who resigned as Vice President Dick Cheney's chief Middle East adviser in July 2007, a month after the Gaza coup, believes that Hamas had no intention of taking Gaza until Fatah forced its hand. "It looks to me that what happened wasn't so much a coup by Hamas but an attempted coup by Fatah that was pre-empted before it could happen," Wurmser says.

[Bjsman]

Yes, that is the core of the story, and the preludes took place over the previous six months and was reported in the free media. We couldn't believe the stupidity and arrogance of the plan at the time.

[Bjsman]

Yes, that is the core of the story, and the US/Fatah preparations took place over the previous six months and was widely reported in the free media. We couldn't believe the stupidity and arrogance of the plan at the time.

[Franco187]

Vanity Fair has obtained confidential documents, since corroborated by sources in the U.S. and Palestine, which show a covert initiative, approved by Bush and implemented by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams, to provoke a Palestinian civil war. The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with new weapons supplied at America's behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power.

[Inkan1969]

The treatment of Gaza since the takeover has been an outrage. We've been cursed with rulers in the U.S. and Israel too idiotic to realize that Hamas needed to be kept constantly engaged in negotiation to reach a peace accord with their elected government.

[hotspur2514]

Answer: Kick the religious zealots out and vote in a mob willing and able to get Gaza up and running again.

[gzyyy6]

is it easyer to kill then to follow gods laws

[colmmernagh]

This is an outrage !! Why do ALL news outlets say things "when hamas ousted fatah from power" "hamas seized control" Sort term memory, THEY WERE ELECTED TO POWER.

Stop the lies.

[Dyamba19]

It's a parliament, Hamas won the election but Fatah was supposed to have a share of the power, the coup that took place was when Hamas ousted them from that power.

But then again Al Jazerra is known for it's pro Israeli bias *rolls eyes*

[lastnymleft]

The US and Israel were supporting Fatah, and undermining Hamas. THEY were moving towards an ouster of Hamas, the democratically elected leadership. What Hamas did was a pre-emptive strike. If they hadn't saved Gaza, they would have lost it all.

The US doesn't care about democratically elected governments. Ask Guatemala, Chile, etc., etc.

[Dyamba19]

Clearly they saved Gaza. haha Hamas made the step that undermined the democracy here, if you have a problem with undermining democracy you must also blame Hamas.

[lastnymleft]

Read: vanityfair. com/politics/features/2008/04/­gaza200804

"..the White House cooked up yet another scandalously covert and self-defeating Middle East debacle: part Iran-contra, part Bay of Pigs. With confidential documents, corroborated by outraged former and current U.S. officials, David Rose reveals how President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Deputy National-Security Adviser Elliott Abrams backed an armed force under Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, touching off a bloody civil war in Gaza.."

[Sultan1923]

Undermining democracy? They were defending themselves against a Fatah coup. And they were voted into majority of parliament by the people.

[Dyamba19]

It was Hamas that launched the coup not Fatah.

[Sultan1923]

You obviously don't know the history of the conflict before 2007, or you just choose to discard it. Hamas was voted into power in 2006, and Fatah refused to share power with it, and (with the help of Israel and America), attempted to consolidate their power by force. They obviously in Gaza. And you repeating the same thing I just refuted is getting a little tedious.

[Dyamba19]

Fatah didn't launch the coup and has called for dialog the entire time and cooperation.

Tedious, you keep point out Hamas was eleced over and over again when no one argued against that point. You're right they were but Fatah was voted in some seats to and Hamas kicked them out.

What you're saying is that it's alright for Hamas to undermine democracy because Fatah may of planning to undermine democracy later on.

[Sultan1923]

Fatah only started calling for dialog this year, when Israel was sieging Gaza. I repeat the point that Hamas was elected because u said Hamas was undermining democracy. Fatah didn't want to cooperate with Hamas when they came to power, this is common news. And w/ US and Israeli funding and weapons, Fatah tried to make a coup in Gaza. And Hamas defended itself. You don't know what coup or democracy mean, and you continue to state Hamas "undermines democracy", when evidence points to the contrary
