ISRAEL - IRAN - SYRIA - HAMAS - HEZBOLLAH - WWWIII?

Quote:

I would like to see Israel offer Mexicans temporary worker visas, and eliminate Palestineans as farm workers anyway.

Read as:

Stealing their land, holding them as prisoners, none of this is working. I'm in favor of the complete extermination of Palestinians, indeed all Arabs who stand in the way of a greater Israel. Genocide genocide genocide!!

Your source failed to mention that Israel has no choice but to hit civilian areas because that's where Hamas hides and uses their weapons and ammunition.

Hamas is the elected government of those people. Do you expect that they would hide in the open desert?

Hamas is a bully aided by a bigger bully, Iran

But there is also proof that Saddam was backed by liberal US govts.
Whats your point?

what Hamas is doing is an act of war, and Israel has every right to retaliate with every means at their disposal, short of nukes.

Fact Check: Israel never ended its occupation of Gaza. Following the September 2005 dismantling of its illegal colony/settlements, Israel maintained nearly total control of Gaza's borders, airspace, territorial waters (preventing most fishing), electricity, life-lines and economy, turning it into a sealed prison resembling the Warsaw Ghetto, according to UN Special Rapporteur, Richard Falk.

Palestinians living in Gaza have not only the right but the obligation to resist Israel's continuing illegal occupation. Indeed, the very existence of Gaza is a historical reminder of those hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who lost their homes to Israel. Gaza is a Palestinian refugee camp"all of it. More than 80% of its inhabitants were victims of Zionist terrorism that pushed them off their land"many from Askalaan (Ashkelon), their heritage from that now Jewish town nearly erased.

The anti-Israel bigots--and I do call them bigots since they can't seem to discuss this without showing their contempt/hatred for Israel--along with everything else they acuse Israel of, condemn Israel for not opening its borders and allowing all Palestinians to move in who want to do so and for not giving the new Palestinians full rights to citizenship and all benefits that go with it.

I can see that should Israel do that, Israel will cease to exist because it will no longer have a majority vote to ensure that all the citizens of Israel will be treated equally and fully protected. The Palestinians have already indicated in very clear terms that they have zero intention of ensuring that all the citizens of Israel will be treated equally and fully protected.

From the inception of Hezbollah to the present, the elimination of the State of Israel has been one of Hezbollah's primary goals. Some translations of Hezbollah's 1985 Arabic-language manifesto state that "our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated".[12] However neither the original publication of the manifesto, nor those found on Hezbollah's website, include the statement.[12] In an interview with the Washington Post, Nasrallah said "I am against any reconciliation with Israel. I do not even recognize the presence of a state that is called 'Israel.'"[102] Throughout its history, Hezbollah has made statements and actions against the United States, in part because of the United States' support for Israel but mostly because of the ongoing conflict between the Velayat-e Faqih Regime and America.[103]

Hamas's charter calls for an end to Israel, but Hamas did not mention that aspect of its charter in its electoral manifesto during the 2006 election campaign.[44] On 25 January 2006, after winning the Palestinian elections, Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar gave an interview to Al-Manar TV denouncing foreign demands that Hamas recognize Israel's right to exist.[62] After the establishment of Hamas government, Dr Al-Zahar stated his "dreams of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall at my Gaza home which does not show Israel on it...I hope that our dream to have our independent state on all historic Palestine (including Israel). This dream will become real one day. I'm certain of this because there is no place for the state of Israel on this land". He also "didn't rule out the possibility of having Jews, Muslims and Christians living under the sovereignty of an Islamic state, adding that the Palestinians never hated the Jews and that only the Israeli occupation was their enemy".[63] In November 2008 Ismail Haniyah said that Hamas was willing to accept a Palestinian state within the 1949 armistice lines, and offered Israel "a long-term hudna, or truce, if Israel recognized the Palestinians' national rights."[64]

Hamas's charter calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic Republic in their historic homeland of Palestine, in place of Israel.[65] Hamas sees this view as an Islamic religious duty and prophesy that comes directly from Hadith.[66] In 1999, late Hamas co-founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin mentioned the year 2027 as the possible date for the "disappearance" of Israel.[67] The group has not issued a clear statement about how it would deal with the current population of Israel, should it succeed in overthrowing Israeli and secular Palestinian government. Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, one of its co-founders, stated that the movement's goal is "to remove Israel from the map".[68]
Hamas uses both political activities and violence to pursue its goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in place of Israel and the secular Palestinian Authority.[69] Israeli military operations during the al-Aqsa Intifada in 2002 put pressure on Hamas in the West Bank following several bombings in Israel. Hamas has also engaged in peaceful political activities, including running candidates in West Bank Chamber of commerce elections.
During the election campaign the organization stated in its election manifesto that it was prepared to use "armed resistance to end the occupation".[70]

The slogan of Hamas is "God is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Qur'an its constitution. Hamas states that its objective is to support the oppressed and wronged and "to bring about justice and defeat injustice, in word and deed." Hamas has stated that "the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf (trust) consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day." The 1988 Hamas Covenant states that "so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences" are "in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement", stating "there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad".[71]

During the period that has been referred to as the "Total Liberation Phase" (1969-1974), the PLO culturally and politically found its place in the ranks of other socialist anti-colonial liberation movements.8 As Barry Rubin has pointed out, the organization wanted to wage a "people's war," following the example of Marxist-Leninist guerillas in China, Cuba, and Vietnam. He described the goals of this people's war and how the PLO understood its strategic goal at that time. The following statement is remarkably consistent with Feisal Husseini's views, expressed above:
The PLO's target in Israel, however, was not merely a government but the people themselves. Thus, since the PLO was at war with a society - not an army or simply the post-1967 occupation - every aspect and member of Israeli society was a legitimate target. The PLO's aim "is not to impose our will on the enemy," explained the PLO magazine Filastin al-Thawra in 1968, "but to destroy him in order to take his place...not to subjugate the enemy but to destroy him."9

the Palestinians have absolutely nothing to fear regarding Israel.
