Hamas certainly does take care of their citizens - no free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of press or freedom of religion. Homosexuality is a crime punishable by death(public hanging or stoning depending on the gender), political opponents are thrown from rooftops and children are used as human shields.

You're incredibly ignorant. Hamas, according to their own charter, Articles 7, 14 and 32, seeks to destroy all of Israel and exterminate the Jewish people. Hamas is responsible for suicide-bombings and rockeet attacks on innocent Israelis, who they see as "livingon Muslim land".

On top of this, Hamas is pretty much like a lot of other Arab nations, including it's Syrian sponsors. It executes homosexuals, tortures political opponents and uses human shields. They are not "good".

I like how in the end he suggests that antisemitism in the Arab world is a consequence of Israeli "occupation" and not the other way round. I mean, any historical documents will show that this is false. Even the rioting in Palestine in 1922 began because of beliefs that the "Jews came to suck our blood" & "The Jews are digging under Al-Aqsa"... Not to mention Arab-Nazi collaboration...

You want to see antisemitism in the Arab world? Go to any of the Islamic regimes in the area (Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc), walk up to a 2 year old, and and ask him "Who is the most vile race in the eyes of God?" Answer: The Jews.

The moment Israel stops limiting Hamas's military arming is the moment Hamas stops becoming this "3000 untrained army" and becomes a real threat. So long as Israel stands, they will never stop fighting. They have proclaimed as much. On 1 hand, you say Israel should back off, and on the other you say that they're not a threat (because Israel hasn't backed off). You can't have both of these things.

Hezbollah - if silencing any protest by using Gestapo tactics on its own civilians can be called "working for the people" & "doing a great job", then you have very funny standards...

We've seen what type of "educational services" Hamas provides for the children in Gaza. How to make Molotov cocktails, being a martyr > all, Jews are evil. Yea, well done, Hamas...

Terrorism: The intentional use of indiscriminate fatal violence aimed towards civilians in hopes of invoking fear which will lead to political pressure.

See? Not that hard to define.

What a complete charlatan. . . how on earth has he been invited onto a news channel? He condones 'revenge' by Hamas and excuses suicide bombings!! What a human roach.
