Question : Does anyone see the difference between Israel and hamas?
Gaza War Diary III: If Mexico shelled Texas, like Hamas shells Israel
By Bradley Burston
Analogy One: A fanatical religious party wins a string of elections in Mexico’s northern states, then stages a civil war to drive out the federal government and take full control.
The party’s charter demands the return to Mexico of the occupied territories of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Texas.
Firing homemade rockets and more advanced projectiles smuggled in from Iran and China, the party’s gunners can hit a total of one of every seven Americans, or 43,598,000 people, in a broad swath which includes Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Austin, San Antonio and Houston, and Las Vegas.
In all of these areas, pre-schools, grade schools, and universities are all forced to shut down. Families sleep in bomb shelters, and return to them several times a day during air raids. Businesses are shuttered, and the economy shuts down.
______________________
Analogy Two: A man comes into your home. He has a gun he made himself. He points it at your family. He fires, but misses. The gun has little accuracy. He fires repeatedly, missing again and again.
You have a much better gun, made in a real factory. It is in the drawer in the bedroom.
Demonstrators in London and San Francisco – who are distant relatives of the gunman – stage a protest, calling you a murderer and demanding that you keep the well-made gun in the drawer because it would be a disproportionate response.
The man with the homemade gun, it turns out, is a religious fanatic who lives across the street. You were once his landlord. There is much bad blood between you.
He races back across the street. He has a larger weapon that he smuggled in through his basement. He shoots from behind his younger son. He wounds your daughter. You take out a rifle. You aim for him and hit the son, killing the boy.
The demonstrators are now calling you a Nazi and chant “Slaughter the Landlord!”
[In his defense, the neighbor explains that you have kept him and his family locked in the house, and have at times, failed to pay his water, gas and electric bills, causing them to be sporadically turned off.
This is some years after the neighbor send out his older son, nicely dressed, to knock on your door. Your older daughter opens the door. He greet her politely, and presses the detonator on a homemade bomb.]

And finally a word about…
Analogy Three: Gaza as the Warsaw Ghetto
Jew-haters the world over adore this one. It solves a number of problems at once:
It denies and diminishes and exploits the Holocaust, does disrespect to Holocaust victims and survivors alike, alleviates European guilt over complicity with the Nazis, alleviates American guilt over inaction in the face of the annihilation machine, misrepresents both the cruel reality of the Gaza Strip and the cruel reality of the ghetto, dismisses the humanity and the vulnerability of the million Israeli Jews and Arabs within rocket range, and ignores completely the role of Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, the Popular Resistance Committees, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, in having sent thousands and thousands and thousands of rockets and mortars into Israel.
As a bonus, pro-Palestinian demonstrators in San Francisco [where else?], referencing the the Warsaw Ghetto analogy, recently beat up a small number of pro-Israel demonstrators, reportedly shouting “Slaughter the Jew” at them in Arabic.

This was way to long to read. I say the US should carpet bomb both country’s. We have other things to worry about!

Your analogies do not take into account the history of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
They ignore the fact Israel is an occupier on Arab land, they ignore the decades of mistreatment of Arabs by the Israelis, they ignore the massacres of Arab people by Israel and its allies, and they ignore the fact that Israel has imposed an economically crippling blockade on Gaza for the last 8 years.The aggression towards Israel is not merely because the Palestinian people are a, “bunch of religious fanatics” as you would have us believe. Once all of the above factors are taken into account it is easy to see that your analogies are totally invalid.

Hamas openly states it wants only to destroy Israel and slaughter every Jew living there AND in any other country in the region. This is no secret – the Hamas Charter says this, loud and clear. Some people choose to ignore it, but that doesn’t alter the fact that it is true.
Israel left Gaza, on the promise of peace. She gives the Palestinians free water, fuel and electricity even AS they lob missiles at her citizens and send suicide bombers into her towns, her schools and her restaurants.
Hamas shares the ideals and methods of Al Queda. Simple as that. The terrible thing is that many of the people who are now defending Hamas, would be among its first targets if it ever got into power beyond Gaza.
Israel is the sole democracy in the region. The only one. Everyone gets to vote, everyone has the freedom to worship as they please. Over a million Israeli Arabs choose to remain citizens, rather than move to any of the larger, richer Arab nations.
That says a lot.
Finally: the way that some people try to compare the Warsaw Ghetto with Gaza is OBSCENE. Jews in the ghetto were NOT trying to attack and kill Germans and deny their right to exist! These Jews were innocent and law abiding citizens.
In Gaza, the Palestinians voted Hamas in. Well, if you support a terrorist regime, you can hardly then start complaining when the victims OF their terrorism – Israel – then RESPOND!

Israel is a country defending itself, whereas Hamas is a terrorist organization (per the U.N, U.S, and Europe) which engages in attacks of Israeli civilians by hiding among Gaza civilians.
A quarter of a million Israeli citizens have been living under incessant terror attacks from the Gaza Strip with thousands of missiles fired over the past eight years.
These missiles have been described as “home made” by the media. They are, in fact, deadly. Hamas has in its possession longer range Katyushas and Grad-type missiles which can cause devastation such as that on Monday 29 December as one Israeli was killed and 14 injured in a Grad attack on Ashkelon.Israel left Gaza in 2005, giving Palestinians the chance to run their own lives. Despite this, more than 6300 rockets and mortars have been fired into Israel since then.
During the past year alone, more than 3000 rockets and mortars have been launched into Israel.
Since the end of a formal ceasefire (during which terror attacks continued) with Hamas came to an end on Dec. 19, more than 170 rockets and mortars have been fired at Israeli civilians including a barrage of some 80 missiles on Dec. 24 alone.
As US President-elect Obama stated during a visit to Sderot five months ago, “If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I would do everything to stop that, and would expect Israel to do the same thing.”
No other country in the world would have exercised the amount of restraint that Israel has shown for the past several years without responding.The deterioration in the situation is the direct result of Hamas policy. It violated the calm, is firing against and attacking Israeli citizens, and is investing all its resources in arming itself and gathering power.
If Hamas would renounce the path of terror, there would be no need for the Israeli action. Quiet will be answered with quiet, but terror will elicit a response.
“We strongly condemn the repeated rocket and mortar attacks against Israel and hold Hamas responsible for breaking the ceasefire and for the renewal of violence there.” – US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice
“We talked to them [Hamas] and we told them ‘please, we ask you, do not end the truce. Let the truce continue and not stop’ so that we could have avoided what happened.” – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
“For quite some time, Egypt has been warning. Whoever tried to confuse the understand of [ignore] this warning, must bear the responsibility. The Prime Minister of Israel warned the Hamas and said: “You must stop, otherwise we will take measures in response.” In response to what? To not renewing the calm, to the rocket fire. Just before the arrival of [Israeli Foreign Minister] Livni to Egypt, 60 rockets were fired from Gaza!” – Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit -

All I need to know about Hamas I learned from their own behavior toward their people:
“Hamas kills and beats the groom at a Palestinian wedding party and kills 60-70 people for singing out loud (“unislamic:), then executes several dozen Palestinian Arafat supporters after parading them naked in Gaza streets” :

Terribly Inaccurate Annalogies! YOU have been filled with Propaganda by the zionists to believe they are bad people and terrorists when they are desperately trying to get back their country that the so called Israelis stole and have been brotulizing them in.
It Does NOT matter how many wars or treaties or anything so called Israel made because the facti is they should never have been in control over the past 60 years. It is the same thing that happened to the native Americans.
The Diaspora Zionist Jews where given the land Stolen from the Palestinians and in that tme they have starved the Palestinian people made their life a living hell, and over and over colonized areas which they themeselves proised to never colnize. Now they are killing Hundreds of civilians.
Israel broke the ceasefire. They are Lying and claiming it was the Gazans when the Rockets where in retaliation and a desperate attempt to break away and get food and water.
THis is what theyve done with the stolen land, why shouldnt it be returned to the rightful owners?
Even the “most militant palestinian authority” Hamas wants a Palestine controlled by Palestinians but where Jews are welcome to continue living.
So people keep saying “if….there would be no Israel” Isnt that the way its supposed to be when you steal someones land? Shouldnt they be upset? And when you starve them and keep them in ghettos shouldnt they be angry and trying to regain their country? Isnt that natural?
By the way the Palestinians are descendants of Filistines Canaanites Arabs and yes even Hebrews all people who where Present in the Land throughout History! The Canaanites where in Palestine far before the ancient Israelites which modern Jews claim descent from the Torah will tell you this. So That would make the Palestinians a people of the LAND!

Analogy four: Hopeless muggles fail to recognize that monotheism is the result of the recurring myth of the Sun God, (repeated over and over in almost identical form throughout history, the savior performing miracles, leading the people, being killed on a cross, rising from the dead), just happened to get a toe-hold and persists as ‘truth’ and motivates millions of Believers into acting like. . , well, silly muggles. With guns.
The Jewish version of the first half of this same muggle lore is based upon keeping the priesthood in power and the populace under thumb, all through lies of an angry, vengeful god delivered to terrorize the people.
All of it not just rationally false, but *demonstrably* false according to archeological and historical evidence.
But these muggles are herded into various bits of land over the past two millennium, brain-washed into believing their particular version of the Big Lie, and armed to the teeth.
And they actually start hating and molesting one another! Cult victims, every last one.
Here’s the sad truth: The manipulators have several goals, but the big one here in question is, “How do we wipe out ALL the Semitic blood-lines? Both Muslim and Jew?” –It’s all game theory. Both ends against the middle. (Middle East, that is.)
And people are falling for it! The world reaction is pre-determined. Zionist Israel is about to fall in a grand, world-wide set-up. Fed lies and taught to kill. Just watch. Israel will lose in the public perception game, and the world, suffering from just as much mind-programming, will actually nod with satisfaction when it is turned into black glass. Stupid, awful and terrible, but that’s the goal; to wipe out 94% of humanity, starting with the Jews and Muslims.
I’ve been telling my Jewish friends for years to stay the heck away from the so-called, “Promised Land”.
But the average cult victim doesn’t want to hear any of this. To admit that one has been made a tool and a fool, and a murderer is just too painful to face straight on, or even contemplate for a brief moment. People would rather kill other people rather than face the concept that maybe it is all unnecessary! –That maybe the real enemy is laughing in the shadows.
Isn’t it odd that Jews were in many cases terrorized and threatened in the early days of Zionism to pick up and move to Israel? Why would the architects of Zionism, some of the most powerful of whom weren’t even Jewish. . , why would they want all the Jews to be gathered in one convenient place?
But these questions are not asked. All of it eclipsed by the immediate conflict, like pro and anti-abortionists spending all their energy while the government robs them all blind, making slaves of everybody. Distraction and misdirection with the ultimate goal of genocide.
Tragic.
And the blood bath is only just beginning.
Our poor, poor world is bleeding.
