That's a load of horseshit. It is an attempt to demonize the Muslims and Christians claiming that they are different than the Algerian, South African, Rhodesian, Kenyan and other freedom fighters.
Hamas is just one group representing the Palestinians. PAC, in South Africa was more radical than the ANC and proposed that whites be expelled from the country. This was much like the FLN in Algeria. Some anti-apartheid gropud condoned extra judicial killings of traitors though necklacing.
The PA is proposing a state in which citizens of any religion have equal rights, much like the ANC. There is no distinction between the Palestinian freedom fighters and those mentioned above, it is just your racism that can't see that Jews are just as oppressive as the Boers, in fact, given the numbers of non-Jews they kill, in the thousands, every three years or so, they are far more oppressive than the Boers.
When I see morons like you posting I think of a great film, the Battle of Algiers:
The whole rehashing of history is a waste of time and effort if the topic is a workable solution to the conflict. It is important that Palestinians stop claiming Jews have no right to be there. They are there. It's simple. So look forwards, not backwards and clean up your own act. Get rid of your terrorist leaders and corrupt politicians.
How are the leasders of the Palestnians terrorists? Would you claim that the ANC (and Mandela) were terrorists when they, for example, bombed shopping centers (Church Street bombung) in their fight to end Apartheid? Or would you say the ANC were freedom fighters? More to the point, should the non-whites in Apartheid South Africa have just "not looked backwards" and peacefully accepted living under the rule of the white colonists from Europe?
This is an attempt to relativise morality and it stinks. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. The ANC were freedom fighters and I'll tell you why. It is simply a fallicious comparison. Hamas uses violence to end the “occupation”. They are terrorists because they are fighting to deny another people the right to self-determination and are attempting to destroy an internationally recognised state. This is similar to terrorist driving into a crowd at the Christmas market or a knifing in France etc. Hamas are also terrorists because they are trying to create a state that denies basic human rights to women, and rejects freedom of expression and religion, that permits extra-judicial killings. Therefore they engage in terrorism. This is nothing like the ANC which which had entirely different goals, and a different legal system it was fighting (in which none of its citizens had voting rights in SA proper unlike in Israel proper). So it is time to see this disctinction and move on. You are doing no one favours by bringing up SA as if it were the same, when it is entirely different.
