Also how many more innocent Palestinians need to be killed or injured in Israeli artillery raids, air strikes, and demolitions? Please, a Qassam rocket is like a pinprick compared to the military beast that is Israel, the damage Israel causes is infinitely greater than a couple of rockets that rarely hit their targets (look it up, most of them land on open fields).
Palestinian? Innocent? Surely you jest!
Maybe if their ELECTED government didnt openly call for attacks against Israel I might be inclined to think some of them are innocent.
The Arab cultures in the area are 300 years behind the times. They understand one thing, and thats power. The only way Israel will have peace is to kick the ever loving hell out of anyone who threatens them, so much so that no one will want to attack them again..
Kinda like they did with Egypt.
Maybe then, MAYBE, the terrorists in the region (And by that I mean the peoples of Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine) will think twice before poking Israel in the side.
Do you know anything about what little there is to know Palestinian politics? Fatah is a party surrounded by scandals; taking money meant for the Palestinian people (in terms of donations), and selling them out when possible. Its called chosing the lesser of two evils.
Actually this is true... Hamas was... to the Palestinians the lesser of two evils. Fatah has done less than nothing to help Palestinians, and Hamas at least from the civillian wing does a decent job caring for Palestinian civillians.
However... to the rest of the universe, and in the long run for the Palestinians Hamas is the greater of evils... because they are a blatant terrorist organization, and they are uncompromising, which is what has allowed things to unfold as they have. Under Arafat and Fatah, Arafat would at least catch and release the terrorists... and he had plausible deniability as far as terror involvement.
This succesfully created a stalemate, where Israel took a world opinion beating... the world could scream STOP!!! You must only attack those responsible, and those responsible are not representative of the Palestinian people. Now that stalemate is gone... and for the first time in the last 30 years, the world opinion is
supportive of Israel and their retaliation because Hamas IS representative of the people.
As a Palestinian... you should be very aware that the greatest enemy of the Palestinians are the Palestinians. Your powerstructure is, and always has been very mafia, in that the strongest, and most violent rise to the top. Until that changes... you have NO CHANCE of getting any reasonable situation.
I will NOT claim that Israel is good to the Palestinians... however... Palestinians have done nothing to advance their cause... or the condition of their people.
And the rest of the Arab world has been even less accomodating than Israel.
