Where do I begin.

Why do you support Hamas I really hope that it is your lack of knowlage about Hamas rather than supporting their general goal.

You know that Hamas is fighting Isreal but what you probably dont know is that in a single month Hamas launched 52 suicide attack in one month and they were deliberatly attacking civilians in which 288 Israelis were murdered and 1,646 were wounded. . You protest outside the Isreal embassy. You support the group that threatened to bring suicide bomb attacks to the UK. You support the slaughter of all Jews and Americans aswell.

Well said.



Hamas has close ties with AL QUEDA. How strange that people don't seem alarmed by this!



The official Hamas Charter openly declares it wants to bring death to all Jews and wants the region 'to be bathed in Jewish blood'. Hamas is an Islamic extremist organisation that even recommends death for any Muslims found to 'not be following the tenets of Islam properly'.



Do people genuinely not realise the very real danger that ALL these groups present to democratic countries?

Oh, and to the person who mentioned South Africa:



- false comparison. Israel does not run an apartheid system and never has. There are plenty of Araba sitting in the Israeli parliament; they get to vote and make and break policy. Israeli Arab citizens are full citizens and always have been. Indeed, they speak up FOR Israel:

Palestinians voted for Hamas because they were sick of the Fatah corruption. Hamas presented an alternative based on religion and backed by deep pockets. These deep pockets are because Iran nurtured them as a means to gain foothold in the region. So Hamas used the funds at that stage to set up schools and stepped in to help the population, especially in areas where Fatah neglected, and in this way created an alternative and de-legitimized the Fatah. Although they were democratically voted in they then promptly turned to violence against their own people to silence any opposition against them, eventually driving most of Fatah out of Gaza (and into the West Bank). Palestinian Authority's President Mahmoud Abbas outlawed Hamas in 2007. I think when the fighting is over, besides hating Israel people will also start to hate Hamas for bringing all this destruction on their heads. People will ask what has Hamas done to advance Palestinians objective of establishing a state, what has it done to help improve life? All Hamas has been doing since they took Gaza by force is take care of their own people, make themselves stronger and fight Israel even though they know they cannot win by force. People in Gaza know the truth, they know Hamas is funded by Iran and their leaders answer to Iranian interests. Whether people will be able to do something now about it, I'm not sure. If Hamas is weak enough after the war then maybe.

Probably most people support Hamas through ignorance and lack of knowledge just as Americans supported the IRA in donating millions to an organization they did not really fully understand.
2009-01-02 08:35:23 UTC
Interesting that not one Hamas supporter has addressed your question. I know why. They dont understand common sense. They only understand videos made for them from Kindergarden by Hamas.

I am against large migration of Muslims and in fact large migration of any type of people into the overcrowded UK; however I believe Israel has caused a global conflict with Islam which I feel it is correct to criticise.



Muslims in Palestine are being subject to slow annihilation and pressure to get out of the way of Israel.Hamas represent Palestinians and I respect that . America also has suffered a lot for Israel enough is enough



Your list above is spread out and misleading, Israel has killed 30 times as many Palestinians and well over 2000 children recently

Who was behind Hamas and why?



Hamas' early growth had been supported by the Mossad as a "counterbalance to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)". Furthermore, the French investigative newspaper Le Canard enchaîné stated that Shin Bet had also supported Hamas as a counterweight to the PLO and Fatah, in an attempt to give "a religious slant to the conflict, in order to make the West believe that the conflict was between Jews and Muslims", thus supporting the controversial thesis of a "clash of civilizations".[86]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas





The harsh, unjust and barbaric Zionism added misery and misfortune of millions. The inhumane Zionism gave rise of Jewish apartheid, ethnic cleansing because their “god” does not want non Jews in the holly land! So they can systematically murder and ethnically cleanse non Jews!!



Hitler had bigger guns and murdered anyone he did not like.

Now Israelis got bigger guns and they have been murdering anyone they do not like.



What is the difference? Silly Hitler is dead and Israelis are very active to make their “god” happy.





How Israel tricked Hamas before launching Gaza strikes

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24851711-2,00.html



The radio report, on Friday, was a final move in six months of planning and deception leading up to the strikes, The Australian reported.

Im a muslim and I actually blame both countries and the other users are right Muslims will support muslims thats just how it is, although they forget that Islam is about Peace.
2009-01-02 07:04:23 UTC
The supporters of Hamas are often brainwashed from birth to support muslim 'freedom fighters' They never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Muslims support muslims whatever they do. Liberal do gooders are just selective in what they read.
2009-01-02 07:14:12 UTC
I wouldn,t call myself a Hamas supporter but I understand them fighting back against isreal , all they are doing is trying to reclaim their country. And all the jews start crying when there is an attack well so what , they invaded palestine what do they expect?

You're talking about the general population of the UK



That's me.



And why have you not listed out all the UN Resolutions which Israel have ignored?



And why not list all the Palestinian people who have been killed by Israel?



You would no doubt still be supporting troops in Northern Ireland.



And you'd still want to keep Nelson Mandela in prison.



Your approach makes no progress.

ADD:

======

It's amusing you accuse people of having a lack of knowledge when you can't even spell in the short introduction you've written yourself:



Israel

knowledge

deliberately



Perhaps you should complete your English Language education before citing "lack of knowledge."



ADD2:

=======

It's "evidence" not "evidense."

I'm not a Hamas supporter though I do unfortunately see why they exist, perhaps it has something to do with past Israeli and Zionist terrorism:
