Hamas

[Psycho4Bud]

Hamas was created in 1987 by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin of the Gaza wing of the Muslim Brotherhood at the beginning of the First Intifada. Best known outside the Palestinian territories for its suicide bombings[3] and other attacks directed against civilians and Israeli military and security forces targets. Hamas' charter (written in 1988 and still in effect) calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and its replacement with a Palestinian Islamic state in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.[4][5][6] Vehemently anti-Israel and, according to some, anti-Semitic[7] its charter states: "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad."[8] However, after coming to power, Hamas announced it was giving up suicide attacks and "offered a 10-year truce [with Israel] in return for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories: the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem."[9][10][11] Hamas also declared a unilateral ceasefire with Israel which, after Israeli air strikes in response to Hamas smuggling weapons into Gaza, was formally renounced.[12]

Hamas is listed as a terrorist organization by Canada,[20][21] the European Union,[22] Israel,[23] Japan,[24] and the United States,[25] and is banned in Jordan,[26] Australia,[27] and the United Kingdom[28] both list the militant wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, as a terrorist organization. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on June 20, 2007 that Hamas are "murderous terrorists," after the group seized control of the Gaza Strip.[2] According to the US State Department, the group is funded by Iran, Palestinian expatriates, and private benefactors in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states.[25] In a 2002 report, Human Rights Watch stated that Hamas' leaders "should be held accountable for the war crimes and crimes against humanity" that have been committed by its members.[29]

I know...."but they were elected!".......but so was Mahmoud Abbas. Check out page 25 Article 127 regarding who is the Supreme Commander of their military forces. The members of Hamas are in direct violation.

Hamas sucks.

[medicinal]

Hamas may suck, but it is the duly elected government of the palestinian people. Talking about war crimes, The good old US of A is regarded as a war criminal by many nations in the world, White phosphorus, napalm, cluster bombs, all outlawed by international treaties, have been used in Iraq and Afganistan. The unilateral invasion of a soverign country is considered a crime by many, Renditioning wasn't even on the books, it took the CIA to come up with that gem, (They fly them through Las Vegas, it is a plane changing station), Abu Graib and guantanamo are more reasons for the Haig to be fired up. We are being governed by criminals, world wide criminals, Wake up people, before it's too late and they are doing it to you. They have the laws to do it to you, Bush has made sure of that

They may have been elected into parliment but still have NO RIGHT to form it's own army under the Palistinian Constitution.

Britain and America had no right to invade Iraq. Isreal had no right to spray Lebanon with cluster bombs. Am I missing something? Is it only Islamic states that have to abide by the rules of engangement?

Have you read the palestinian constitution? I think you'd be better served to read ours, and then take a critical look at what the Bush regime has been doing to it.

What does Bush have to do with whether or not Hamas's actions are correct under their constitution. Relieve yourself of the hate and look at this group objectively.

The west preaches democracy then when the result is not of their liking (e.g. Hamas wins election) they go back to terrorizing brown people.

Corporate media does a fine job of covering up the dirty stuff and portraying the other side as savages. Sheeple are gullible though...

I find the left in here absolutely hysterical at times. When a member from our own government goes just a bit out of line they call for their heads in a basket; when a terrorist group like Hamas goes against it's own countries constitution they have every excuse for them. READ page 25 of the link I posted and tell me that Hamas having their own militia is part of it.

"Terrorizing brown people"....give me a break! These are the same gentle people that encourage their children to be suicide bombers.

Respect to Hamas. The one movement that turns around and tells the NWO to f**k off! Unlike the rest of the international community who just does what they say.
