Hamas: a riddle wrapped up in a ski mask

Today, President-forNow Bush offered his full support for Israel, stating, "The situation now taking place in Gaza was caused by Hamas." An Israeli military spokesman has accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields, "Civilians will probably continue to get killed, unfortunately, because Hamas put them in the first lines of fire." Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar see things diffently, "The Zionists have legitimized the killing of their children by killing our children. They have legitimized the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people."

how DARE Hamas, or any palestinian, or anyone on Earth for that matter, stand in the way of Israel's security? Haven't they heard about the Holocaust????

all this is irrelevant anyway, because once israel' offensive -sorry, DEfensive- operation is over and Hamas is eliminated forever, palestinians will go back to living quietly under siege and peace will be restored to the region.

i'm not a hamas supporter, nor am i a big fan of the garbage posts i keep seeing about this topic today. i love this site so much that i keep expecting someone intelligent to come up with something, but so far no luck.
