Women of Hamas - Israel/Palestine

April 2006
Tired of years of endemic corruption, Palestinian women are turning their backs on Fatah and supporting Hamas. But having voted for change, the pressure is now on Hamas to deliver.

When Nahida Sleibi's husband was injured, Hamas was the only organisation who came to her help. "Hamas is able to reach out to women through financial assistance", explains politician Intisar Al-Wazir. It runs a network of schools and hospitals which have a reputation for being efficient and corruption free. But while its social policies won it the female vote, rumours Hamas plans to implement Sharia Law have alienated some women. Others are worried about the financial implications of its rigid foreign policy. As Nuha states: "We're concerned the international community will reject us and things like petrol will be refused to us."

It wasn't Muslims who who bombed the USS Liberty. It isn't the Palestinians who have Illegal Nuclear bombs in their possession. It isn't Palestinians who Break international laws every day. It wasn't Muslims who declared war on Hitler and started the second world war either.

@PauloGVieira Emir Jaber III al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah of Kuwait threw out 400,000 Palestinians during "Desert Storm."

Very single one of your moronic point s are easily countered but I'm not here to sway you. You are living proof of how twisted an individual can be.

Here's a gift from me to you.

President Carter got the peace prize too. You know Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize twelve days after taking office. Upon acceptance of winning it, Obama was praised by the committee, "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy". . They also gave the peace prize to Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the best known terrorist organization on the globe. This is like giving it to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the KKK.
