Why did Hamas loot and burn the greenhouses? Do they hate everyone and everything?
601225
I once read a nice turn of phrase in (of all things) an Entertainment Weekly movie review (the moview was "Cabaret Balkan"), which was "a world at its own throat."  \n\nI don't profess to be an expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  However, it seems to me, that this pretty aptly describes what is going on over there at the moment.\n\nThere is no logical reason to loot the greenhouses.  Now, probably the looters each had individual motives.  These could have been boredom, a need for the tubing and plastic sheets at home, hatred towards the Israelis, fear, because someone told them to.  But overall, there really is no reason to dismantle greenhouses that were for the use of their own.\n\nApparently, Hamas does hate everyone and everything.

HAMAS has radical origin and if US isolate them they only get stronger and convince their supporters on radical  attitudes. because they won't have other options. if that would happen, they started to give the messages that  we are alone and have to solve our problems  with only  aggressing.this won't to help peace settlements in middle  east...but if care it?

Osama bin Laden said in one of his tapes that the Muslims would eventually defeat Israel because "we love death the way they love life."  These suicide bombers don't kill themselves because anybody took their land.  They do it because somebody talks them into believing that after they commit their atrocity they will go to heaven and get 72 virgins to rape at their pleasure.  The 9/11 hijackers were all Saudis and Egyptians -- nobody took their land.  And the Palestinians who strap bombs to their children initially did it because Saadam Hussein offered $25,000 to any family whose child became a suicide bomber.  After Saadam was deposed, Hamas took over the job of rewarding the families of suicide bombers.  It is a horrible, nihilistic practice that strikes at the very heart of civilization.  It is human sacrifice.  The Muslim world should rise up and smash this death cult, and the fact that they don't makes for a strong argument that Islam needs serious reform.

what some of the others neglected to tell you is that there is such a bitter hatred of jews among arabs that they can't stand the idea of there being a jewish state at all.  The particular land wasn't that important to the palestinians (a misnomer because there really is no nationality) it was because jews were there.  The other arab states don't even want the so called palestinians.  There could be peace if these people would live in peace.  The Israelis want it but they will no longer tolerate terrorism or a threat to their security.  Can you blame them? \nJust for the record..I am not a jew and I do not hate palestinians.  I pray they can find a way to live in peace.

I'll take a shot at it, if you don't mind Ma'am! They are looking for anything to gain sympathy and portray themselves as victims. They are extremely cunning, as their real intent is to take over by sheer population. Putting up a wall will stop them from doing this. They also feel that this is their land, much as the Palestinians feel that Israel is rightfully theirs. Their propaganda machines are in overdrive right now, as this is a make or break time for them. The Mexicans really hate us, and I think it is them that we should be wary of. Americans have seemed reasonable in their attitudes and responses to these people, but it is them - they are full of hatred and rage. To me, someone with that much hatred is a much stronger candidate to participate in an extermination or genocide.

I dislike them too, and I also dislike the people that cannot see how the warmongering has pissed off so many people that have then turned to terrorism as a reaction.\nNice monster they created!\nIgnorant fools.

The Palestinian people elected Hamas (a terrorist group) as their government.  I think this is called "cause and effect".  You elect terrorists into your government and the people who gave you aide will stop giving.\n\nSeems pretty simple to me.

The Israelis always terrorists ... The killers , criminals , Tykes , and living on the children blood of Palestine ... Colonialism is not durable never ... Palestine will return to the Palestinian people ... All the peoples of the world stand with the Palestinians ... People not politicians .

arabs, palestines, are right. providing evidence huh?.. i just have a little story. after israel occupied palestine (we all know how that went) i red some months ago this article which said that mothers and children, in palestine, were going to the soko, that is.. market, to buy food because the israeles had allowed them to go out at that particular time, but it seems some soldiers weren't updated so they started to shoot them and killed many. i also recalled alledgendary "suicidal blowups terrorist boys" who said they were told by the israeli army to confess that just for political propaganda. israelis are commiting genoside and as far as i concern, it's not even their land -but of course, england and us always playing world judges- and that's the result. more than 20 children below twelve are murdered every day.. and no1 who does that could ever be right "they fight with tanks and M16s and we only have our bodies to blow up " said one terrorist woman. i think it pretty much sums it all up. love . dani

So many times Israel got away with murder because US has vetoed every single sanctions against it...So it is because of the support of US and the silence of UN...This is their idea of justice...\nWhile Israel's crimes are called "self defense",the Palestinians fighting for liberty will be called "terrorists"...because they don't have the full support of the most powerful country in the world:USA... \nOf course.if Israel can't blame this one on Hamas(although I am sure they will find some reason to,'cos they always do),it will be called just a "mistake"...No one will ever accuse Israel of deliberately killing civilians.even if they do... \nWe saw what the reaction at the Israelis deaths are:they have to transform all into an international tragedy...Everyone must know that they still "suffer"...while 18 Palestinians who were sleeping in their beds are murdered it's not so important...'cos they were kille in "self defense",'cos Israel has the right to "defend" itself against unarmed civilians...

Gee- maybe ask the terrorists why they were firing rockets from the area of the kids house- or why they use the houses of innocent Palestinians as bases, or the back gardens of Palestinians to launch missile attacksMaybe while you're about it you can ask why they think it is so glorious to blow up Jewish babies and children.\n\nAs for Rachel Cory- sitting down in fron to a 100 ton armoured bulldozer which has close to zero visibility is not just a dumb idea- it is deserving of a Darwin award!  Gee- sit down in front of something that size- with an exceptionally linited field of view- with an earth moving blade triple her height- and then expect the driver to somehow miraculously know she is there- poor girl, her parents should have taught her some common sense!

Well Hamas won. The people have spoken. Now Hamas has a choice, keep their present stand on destroying Israel (a country formed and recognized by UN charter which is more than I can say for that area called Palistine.)and being broke. Or they can denounce terrorism and recognise Israel as a country and join most of the rest of the world with all the benefits and perks of being on someones dole.

Which prophesies? If you are referring  to the violence ,yes they are obviously a part of that....Jesus said the days before his return would be like the time of Noah. If you look at Genesis violence covered the earth.  The hebrew word for violence is HAMAS...what a coincidence!! Hamas - the terriorist group -just won an election for the Palestinians - which are pro-violence so it is not a surprise. The muslims - or others-who participate in violence are fulfilling this prophesy about the end times. The muslims who refuse to control the terror, support it or allow it to happen are also guilty.\n\nHowever, negative muslims are not alone in being responsible.  There are also other nonmuslim people -religious and not religious -who participate in violence.The USA has murdered 4 million babies. It is called abortion and politicians made it legal.  None of these people were muslims.  There are nonmuslims dealing in drugs and prostitution - things of evil. They are guilty too.\n\nUnless people are actively fighting against evil, they are supporting it, and they share in the guilt.

I think this article is largely garbage and is a weak attempt to justify terrorism.\n\nTo say that Hezbollah fighters did not follow Israelis to tel aviv because they just wanted them out of Lebanon is a lie. Hezbollah has several times said they want to conquer all of Israel and when the war in Lebanon started this summer is was Hezbollah that first went into Israeli territory. \n\nAlso if leaving an occupied area stops violence then tell me why have over a thousand rockets been launched from Gaza! There are no more Israeli's in Gaza and Hammas still attacks.\n\n\nI realize the author of this article is trying to condemn radical Islam, but by trying to give reasons for it. Many of which as I pointed out are not true he is actually rationalizing its use.
