      <![CDATA[@11- you talk as if Hamas and the militant Palestinians actually have their own good in mind with the shit they pull, or a rational brain for that matter.<br />
How many years now has Gaza been in Palestinian hands?  Yet not once have they ceased hostilities with Israel and tried to become self-governing.  Nope- Destroy Israel is all they exist for.<br />
If Hamas is stupid enough to play to the Israeli right (they are), they deserve to get the shit bombed out of them and re-occupied.  Why Israel hasn't permanently annexed the occupied territories and said FU to the world is beyond me.  The US wouldn't have put up with this crap for the past 44 years; why should they?

They killed him on Wednesday, in retaliation for constant rocket bombardment.  I have a friend living 20 miles from the Gaza border, and she's pretty much been living in a bomb shelter for the past week.  What countries would not strike back?<br />
<br />
I'm as pro-Palestinian as they come, and this shit infuriates me.  Hamas is playing into the hands of the Israeli right wing, and, not only are they going to lose independence in Gaza in perpetuity, they've also trashed any possibility of the West Bank being part of an independent Palestinian state.  Fuck them.
