Get ready for the Hamas state

[drdon326]

The Gaza Strip is becoming the Hamas state, no doubt about it. Former Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) director Avi Dichter publicly warned again this week that the Hamas is setting up in Gaza "an army of thousands of armed men based on the model of the Hizbullah in Lebanon."

There is, however, a difference between the two organizations. Hizbullah is only one of several armed organizations inside Lebanon, and the country has a government and an army that don't dare to dismantle them. In Gaza, Hamas continues to hold on to weapons and manpower to take control of the nascent Palestinian state.

Some politicians and naive experts in Jerusalem and Washington are consoling themselves with the thought that by participating in the elections Hamas will turn into a political body, just as Hizbullah is also a political party in Lebanon.

But such things don't exist in a democratic regime. Do political parties in Israel, the US or France possess private armies? Of course not. Hizbullah and Hamas have tremendous arsenals of weapons with which they can enforce a reign of terror. President George W. Bush obviously knows this while waging his historic campaign to democratize corrupt Arab regimes, including those in Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia.

1. Maybe Israel should re-invade S. Lebanon. I'll bet that would help.

Or sometimes you are just screwed, there are no good moves.
I think JPost is right here, but it's hard to tell what it
is they want done about it. Just freak out some more maybe.
They do take time to suck up to Sharon at the end.

So the bullshit about LAND FOR PEACE was all a sham...nothing to see here......nothing to give a second thought to.

5. huh?

How did Israel create Hamas?

[Colorado Blue]

7. "Huh?" is right. What isn't a "huh?" is the fact that oil rich

states like the Saudis have contributed BILLIONS to terrorist organizations among the Palestinians, while their unemployment rate is over 50%.

That's APPALLING.

Craig Unger's book, "House of Bush, House of Saud" mentions this. As of the time the book was printed, the figure was some $4 billion.

Meanwhile, the P.A. struggles to maintain order so the peace process can continue.
