Hamas would destroy Israel because it is Israel. Hamas, Iran, would slaughter people just for being Jewish.
My heart goes out to Israel. Technologically advanced, fighting for existence, and surrounded by a load of squatting ragheads on prayer mats, begging Allah (pbuh) to wipe out the infidels.
The fact is that Hamas (and Muslims generally) hate the Jewish people. They have to � they are told to hate them in the Koran.
Here are some choice quotes-
"The Jews are a nation of liars.... The Jews are a treacherous, lying, and evil people."
"Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before."
"The Jews are devoid of sense. There is a grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to believe so they will end up in Hell."
The Geneva Treaty of 1980 stipulates that white phosphorus should not be used as a weapon of war in civilian areas, but there is no blanket ban under international law on its use as a smokescreen or for illumination. However, Charles Heyman, a military expert and former major in the British Army, said: �If white phosphorus was deliberately fired at a crowd of people someone would end up in The Hague. White phosphorus is also a terror weapon. The descending blobs of phosphorus will burn when in contact with skin.�
Israel has never bothered with un resolutions so why worry about a few war crimes ?
Well one day maybe the vile Jews will be wiped out, and Islam will take control. It will be terrific, women in veils, gays suspended by their necks from cranes.
Krazydiamond � I don�t think anyone here is surprised that Israel get most of it�s weapons from the US. It�s hardly a secret is it?
Just for balance, Hamas gets most of its finance and weapons from Iran. No secret there either.
And as you say, white phosporus is not illegal in itself. It�s illegal to use it against civilian targets. So is Israel using it against civilian targets specifically? Or are they using it against military targets which happen to have been conveniently (for Hamas) positioned in civilian areas?
The inescapable fact is this � if Hamas had not deliberately positioned it�s military units in civilian areas, many more Palestinian civilians would still be alive today.
Hamas wants Palestinians to die. It�s good PR for them.
Gourmander, I, and everyone else, is supposed to believe what you are saying, so have an open mind, read that link, and look at the video on it, you might be surprised.
