Where's our girl Cynthia McKinney from yesteryear who used to be Miss Gaza Loon before Talib came along? Last I heard she had been apprehended for running guns into Gaza. Then she had that little problem where she got caught going through a Capitol Police checkpoint with a gun on her or her bodyguard while spreading peace and love that day. Probably works at Arby's in Dearborn Michigan now. Or she could be the President of Columbia University. I don't keep up with everything going on in loonville.
The Indians were hunter-gatherers and were used to moving around. The Palestinians had longstanding houses and villages and were kicked out by brute force. They have the moral advantage.
Yes... thanks for ignoring that their official position is irrelevant to the actual power balance and actual behavior between the two.
The point is how fast you are with your flag-thumping, how greedily you swallow US empire's official positions.
The official position of most western countries -- not only the U.S. -- is that Hamas is a terrorist organization and must be eliminated for any possible future peace process to move forward. I have already outlined the two step process in multiple posts on the other thread.
“It’s impossible for me to look at the photos of families killed – such as the mother, father, and three small children murdered as they sheltered in their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz – and not think of my own children,” said Blinken. “This was just one of Hamas’s countless acts of terror – in a litany of brutality and inhumanity that, yes, brings to mind the worst of ISIS. Babies slaughtered. Bodies desecrated. “Young people burned alive. Women raped. Parents executed in front of their children, children in front of their parents,” Blinken said.
Some Islam doctrines One of the last surahs states that treaty-breakers must convert, seek asylum, or die, and that People of the Book be fought until they pay the protection tax and "feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29). Jihad against the disbelievers was interpreted by scholars in a developing imperial context to support offensive warfare. The Qur'an warns the believers not to take certain disbelievers as close allies, and prohibits the marriage of believers to disbelievers (though this verse is traditionally considered partially abrogated by another permitting believing men to marry Christian and Jewish women). The hadith and the sira underline this hostility by portraying many instances of the prophet and his companions killing and torturing disbelievers, and constantly warring against the unbelief of the pagan Meccans and their Jewish allies, which to some extent may reflect the slightly later period of early conquests. This is exalted as the good and righteous policy of a believing Muslim state. According to the sunnah, the best the disbelievers can hope for under a Muslim government is the second-class citizenship of dhimmitude. Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' " Allah has cursed the Jews with enmity and hatred until the day of Judgment The Jews say: "Allah's hand is tied up." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah doth extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah loveth not those who do mischief. Quran 5:64 The Final Hour will not come until Muslims slaughter the Jews, and even rocks and trees will betray them Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. Sahih Muslim 41:6985, See Also: Sahih Muslim 41:6981, Sahih Muslim 41:6982, Sahih Muslim 41:6983 & Sahih Bukhari 4:56:791 Non-Muslims are like cattle or a dog that lolls out his tongue no matter if it's attacked or not If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect. Quran 7:176 Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle; - nay, they are worse astray in Path. Quran 25:44 Believers will outnumber other peoples through prolific childbirth Narrated Ma'qil ibn Yasar: A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: I have found a woman of rank and beauty, but she does not give birth to children. Should I marry her? He said: No. He came again to him, but he prohibited him. He came to him third time, and he (the Prophet) said: Marry women who are loving and very prolific, for I shall outnumber the peoples by you. Sunan Abu Dawud 11:2045 Jihad must be performed continuously from the creation of Islam to the coming of the Antichrist Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.
