As noted, not a single one of your excuses for Pal'istanian Islamic terrorism holds up.Of course Israel is occupying Gaza, as all the parties agree, the U.S. included. Holding a population within an area of land, controlling exit and entry, and bombing and entering the place to perform periodic massacres of thousands of women and children is occupation.
I'm afraid once again that you see the promotion of Pal'istanian Islamic terrorism as an entitlement for adherents to an utterly hostile and belligerent politico-religious ideology.
So the Hamas Charter is not representative of the preferred allegiances of especially fanatical devotees of an especially inflexible politico-religious ideology, but the socio-political program of a hostile, gun-touting movement that seeks dominion over the entire globe deeming itself to have been sanctioned by God.
1. There were no excuses for Palestinian Christian and Muslim religion given. The legality of resistance to occupation and colonization is enshrined in international law:
"Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means,
including armed struggle;"
2. The Hamas Charter is no more representative than the Likud Charter.
1. Since when are acts of Islamic terrorism enshrined in any law?
2. As for Hamas, "yes" it is a violent Pal'istinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood birthed in the intifadah.
a) the example of Hamas in forcibly establishing Islamic law, as they interpret it upon the citizens of Gaza is antithetical to human rights.
b) their hate speech and calls for violence against "Jews"--not merely Israelis (and even that is a concern).
c) Hamas opposes peace negotiation with Israel, particularly any that includes Palestinian recognition of the State of Israel with normalization of relations between a proposed Palestinian State and Israel.
While touting democratic election, it staged a coup, killed Fatah opposition members and their families, and have forced their anti-democratic Islamic codes of contacts on Gazans.
Despite your false representation that that the Hamas Charter is no more representative than the Likud Charter, that also is a function of your islamist apologetics. The Hamas Charter has never been revised or rescinded and remains one of the most belligerent anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic documents of its type anywhere. It is for these reasons that Hamas similarly does not "play a significant role" in the quest to achieve a settlement between the Pal'istinians and Israel.
d) Hamas is sworn to the extermination of Israel per the Charter and they have murdered Israelis indiscriminately. There are no Jews living in lands under Hamas or Palestinian control.
Similarly, by justification of their Islamic ideology, they seek to establish a world under Islamic rule. They mass-murdered fellow Palestinians (e.g. Fatah) disloyal to their cause.
The Israelis have continually fought to keep from being exterminated.
They have a parliamentary democracy inclusive of Arab Israelis. Arab Israeli and Palestinian populations in Gaza and the West Bank have increased exponentially since the establishment of the State of Israel. Israeli Arabs have a higher standard of living per capita than Arabs elsewhere in the Arab world.
Similarly, by justification of democratic principles, Israel has formally recognized the Palestinians as a people with whom a diplomatic solution for the ultimate establishment of Palestinian autonomy (i.e. State) in the West Bank and Gaza must be achieved.
Israelis are fighting to survive and live adjacent to Palestinians.
Hamas is fighting to eliminate the Israelis.
Hamas is fighting to end the Israeli blockade/imprisonment.
Eh, Monte, for your education Palestinians are growing increasingly upset with Hamas for their war crimes against the Palestinians. Some Pali supporters here have claimed Israel created Hamas. If so, great move Israel.
Gazans Speak Out: Hamas War Crimes
Yes, and you provide a wonderfully neutral source for your propaganda.
