Comments on: Bin Laden Supports Hamas against Israel http://www.israelpolitik.org/2009/01/14/bin-laden-supports-hamas-against-israel/ Political blog of the Consulate General of Israel in New York Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:56:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Albert http://www.israelpolitik.org/2009/01/14/bin-laden-supports-hamas-against-israel/comment-page-1/#comment-58089 Albert Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:53:55 +0000 http://www.israelpolitik.org/?p=720#comment-58089 I have additional comment. I do not mean to call people bugs, and made the typo supporter i/o support. The mistakes Israel is making is a result of a divided consciousness. Israel is not firm in its resolve to help the Palestinians in their plight. It puts settlements on their land and walls on their property. It blockades them and deprives them. A purely military occupation would be more predictive of Israel having given up its ambition of annexing these areas. I am talking as well about the West Bank. Democracy: the election of an unrepenting, currently terroristic, terrorist to a position is invalid even if everyone votes for him and supports him. Israel should support those Palestinians who embrace democracy without terror and who want a free country whose government is not dominated by religious fanatics, regardless of that they may be in the minority.

The election of Hamas was invalid, because terrorism is antithetical to democratic politics. Hitler won an election too. Aside from this do you think the US shoud have allowed Saddam to again assume the Presidency of Iraq. Bin Laden is popular too. Hamas must go or their will be no Palestinian state and Abbas will be undermined and Palestine divided. Will Israel let Hamas take credit for the end of the blockade? Are the most creative and constructive people in Gaza going to live forever under tyranny and fear? Israel should never have attacked the iconic institutions of the Anglo American and United Nations schools. Like the Pueblo these places will never be fogotten. It seems like Israel tells people to leave areas, and then bombs their refuge. These are the people Israel should have protected. The ones that obeyed them were not the hateful bugs that stayed to be martyred. The rocket problems from these areas should have been tackled when all the rest of Gaza was pacified. War is a mess to be sure, so let the blood not have been spilled in vain. I am not sure Israel did everything in its power to prevent the war, but that it should let it end without getting rid of Hamas, who are probably supporter of Bin Laden, seems ridiculous. Why did not the US and Spain take advantage of Bin Laden's relative's asylum in Spain to negotiate a cease fire and amnesty with Al Quaida. Yet, Israel wants to make peace with Hamas still in power.
