Foreign AffairsRe: Un Headquarters In Gaza Hit By Israeli 'white Phosphorus' Shells by auwal87(m): 9:45am On Jan 17, 2009
@ Ibime

Back to the economy, here is what I got for you;

A vigorous monetary economy was created by Muslims on the basis of the expanding levels of circulation of a stable high-value currency (the dinar) and the integration of monetary areas that were previously independent. Innovative new business techniques and forms of business organisation were introduced by economists, merchants and traders during this time. Such innovations included the earliest trading companies, big businesses, contracts, bills of exchange, long-distance international trade, the first forms of partnership (mufawada) such as limited partnerships (mudaraba), and the earliest forms of credit, debt, profit, loss, capital (al-mal), capital accumulation (nama al-mal), circulating capital, capital expenditure, revenue, cheques, promissory notes, trusts (see Waqf), startup companies, savings accounts, transactional accounts, pawning, loaning, exchange rates, bankers, money changers, ledgers, deposits, assignments, the double-entry bookkeeping system, and lawsuits. Organizational enterprises similar to corporations independent from the state also existed in the medieval Islamic world, while the agency institution was also introduced. Many of these early capitalist concepts were adopted and further advanced in medieval Europe from the 13th century onwards.

Islamic View on Stem Cell Research

Married couples who cannot have pregnancy in a normal way are allowed to have in vitro fertilization as long as the fertilized ovum is placed in the womb of the woman from whom the egg the was taken (not a surrogate mother). The fertilization has to be with the sperm of her lawful husband during their married life, not after divorce or after the death of the husband. This is the general conclusion of various Muslim jurists’ meetings that discussed this subject.

Having recognized that in vitro fertilization is permissible in Islam, now the first question that we should ask is that should an embryo, which is formed within a few days after an artificial fertilization and is not yet in the womb of its mother, be considered a human being, with all the rights of a human being?

According to the Sharî'ah we should make a distinction between actual life and potential life. Also we should make a clear distinction between the fertilized ovum in the dish and the fertilized ovum in the womb of its mother. Indeed an embryo is valuable. It has the potential to grow into a human being, but it is not yet a human being. Similarly there is big difference in having something in a test tube or dish or something in the body of a human being. As mentioned above these embryos were developed initially in the laboratory solely for the sake of reproduction and, due to limitations of the in vitro fertilization technique, they were produced in excess of what was required for this purpose. As a result, the remaining embryos would have either been frozen indefinitely or destroyed. If these embryos were treated as full human, it would have been forbidden to produce them in excess and to destroy them later. No one treats them as humans. Destroying such embryos is not called and cannot be called abortion. We disagree with the Catholic position that this is “equivalent to infanticide”.

Muslim jurists have made a clear distinction between the early stages of pregnancy (first 40 days) and its later stages. It is mentioned that if someone attacks a pregnant woman and aborts her baby in the early stages of her pregnancy, that person’s punishment will be less than that of the person who does that during full pregnancy. And if he kills the child after the birth, then he is liable to be punished for homicide.

The second question is whether according to the Sharî'ah it is acceptable to destroy an embryo for the sake of research, even if this research can potentially cure many otherwise fatal diseases?

Our answer is that the embryo in this stage is not human. It is not in its natural environment, the womb. If it is not placed in the womb it will not survive and it will not become a human being. So there is nothing wrong in doing this research, especially if this research has a potential to cure diseases. However, it is important that we establish strict rules against the misuse of embryos. Research on embryos has the potential for misuse, for instance in regards to the donors of these cells, and we should anticipate what these misuses might be and establish safeguards against them. (For example, doctors might have infertility patient go through extra cycles of ovulation just so they can obtain more embryos, or they might pay women to produce embryos, or embryos might be obtained without the consent of the donors). In making rules the authorities should also clarify that there is a difference between the use of “spare” embryos from in vitro fertilization procedures which would be destroyed regardless, as compared to the deliberate production of embryos for stem cell research. Each year thousands of embryos are wasted in fertility clinics around the world. Such embryos should not be wasted, they should be used for research.

It is also good to encourage the research on the alternative: to use adult stem cells instead of embryonic or fetal stem cells, This would be much less controversial. However, it seems from the discussion of the experts in the field that adult stem cells are not nearly as useful as embryonic stem cells in their ability to differentiate into different cell types and would therefore not be as applicable in treating many diseases.

Until more research is done on this subject and Muslim scholars deliberate in detail on various aspects of this research, humbly following recommendations are in order:

[size=14pt]It is claimed by the experts in the field that the research on stem cells has great potential to relieve human disease and suffering. If this is the case then it is not only allowed but it is obligatory (fard kifayah) to pursue this research.[/size]

The use of embryonic stem cells should be very heavily limited. Only allow isolation of stem cells from frozen embryos that were created for the purpose of in vitro fertilization and would otherwise have been destroyed. Obtain full consent from the donors. Provide safeguards against monetary compensation to embryo donors and against the creation of embryos in excess of what is required for in vitro fertilization.

Perhaps research using stem cells derived from adults will eventually prove to be most promising. We should encourage further research on the use of adult stem cells, to the point where it will be unnecessary to use embryos for this purpose. Specifically, we should find better ways to isolate existing stem cells in the human body.

I immediately turned on the television, charged my phone, checked emails. For a moment, I felt somewhat liberated. These things that we often take for granted have become so precious of late.

I am sure they were having constant electricity before Israel started their bombardments.
Foreign AffairsTerrorists Bombed 3 Hospitals In Gaza by auwal87(op): 10:59pm On Jan 15, 2009
Three hospitals and a UN compound have been bombed by Israel as troops continue to advance into the densely-populated Gaza City.

Around 500 people were sheltering in the Al-Quds hospital in the city's southwestern Tal Al-Hawa district when it was bombed by Israeli jets and set ablaze on Thursday morning.

Hospital officials said the fire was sparked by a "phosphorus shell".

"We have been able to control the fire in the hospital but not in the administrative building," one hospital official said.

"We hope that the flames don't spread again to the wings of the hospital."

Two hospitals east of Gaza City were also hit by Israeli shells as Gazans fled tanks advancing into the city.

It was no immediately clear if any casualties following the raids.

RichyBlacK:
How can humans defend the dead? This is ludicrous! Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) does not need you or any Muslim "defending" him! What kind of rubbish talk is that? Muslims need to stop being so paranoid about the prophet and Allah. That a man insults the prophet, Allah or the Qu'ran, does not mean the prophet is belittled and "feels bad" about it. It does not mean Allah's might has been compromised, and it surely does not mean that the Qu'ran has become discredited and useless. All it means is that the person showed no respect to what Muslims respect. The appropriate desecration laws should be applied to that individual. Muslim youths going on rampage killing non-Muslims as a form of "collective punishment" is barbaric and must be condemned by every Muslim.

However, due to mass illiteracy among many in the Ummah, some Muslims take up arms to kill innocent civilians of other faiths to express their anger. I recall during the cartoon episode, that miscreants went on rampage in Northern Nigeria, killing Christians and burning churches. All so-called Muslims who take part in such actions or support such actions are fools! They are not Muslims and they must be condemned by all!

On a brighter note, boycotting goods is a much better way of registering frustration and anger than seeking "infidels" to behead!
I 100% agree with you.

I wonder where people are getting those ideas from.

The Zionist plan is limitless. After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying.

Now this guys will pop in and start telling you that he and you are the morons. They are simply gone by the Zionist's propaganda, and they believe whatever they tell them without putting the issue on the right scale. They tend to indiscriminately blame Islam for EVERYTHING.

Let them not forget, the Zionist are not aware of what they are doing, in fact the Zionist view of all non-Zionist is that they are useless human beings, God created them just to fill the earth. Zionist are seeing themselves as the closest people to God, and that they are the most superior human race, etc etc. There are many similarities between Nazis and Zionism. Even the Jews differentiate themselves from the Zionists, but this handful Nigerians are die-hard fans of these Zionist regime in Israel.

Transjordan = jordan today.

So even your own article agrees that these fraudulent "palestinians" are simply Jordanian idiots left to fester in "refugee camps" and used as a political tool to press for Israel's destruction.

Nuff said really.
Note that in red.

Now is River Niger extended in Nigeria alone?

Transjordan was a former Ottoman territory incorporated into the British Mandate of Palestine in 1921, in this context, Jordan as it is today was separated from Palestine itself.

Britain administered the part west of the Jordan as Palestine, and the part east of the Jordan as Transjordan.

On 13 December 2008, Israel announced that it was in favor of extending the cease-fire, provided Hamas adhered to its conditions. The conditions posed by a Hamas delegation in Cairo on December 14, were that the parties return to the original Hamas-Israel ceasefire arrangement. Hamas would undertake to stop all rocket attacks against Israel if the Israelis would agree to open up the border crossings, not to reduce commercial traffic thereafter, and not to launch attacks in Gaza. At an Israeli Cabinet meeting on December 21, Yuval Diskin, the head of Israel's internal security agency, confirmed the seriousness of Hamas’s interest in maintaining the truce. Israel rejected these terms.

I wonder where Hamas call for Israel to be wiped off the map.

Furthermore Hamas gave a 10 years truce to Israel, which Israel deliberately rejected.

What qualifies Hamas to be a terrorist organization also qualifies Israel to be a terrorist state
Foreign AffairsRe: The Anatomy Of An "occupation" by auwal87(m): 6:42am On Jan 13, 2009
Comment -In 1967, Israel seized Gaza and the West Bank from Egypt and Jordan respectively. It is interesting to note that all these arabs who cry the loudest about a Gaza "holocaust" are themselves unwilling to host their own brethren!  Shocked What is it about these "palestinians" that even fellow arabs are scared of?
You wrote that yourself "Seized". Then what makes Israel a responsible state? There are millions of Palestinians all over the middle-east region. Why would they invite the responsibility of creating refugee centers in their country? Though Egypt's action of closing or blocking the Rafah crossings is celebrated by Israel.

Comment - Interesting that so many morons here cry so much about Israel "violating" resolution 242. Well its hard to comply to such a resolution if Egypt wont take back Gaza anyway.
Are you trying to say Egypt should take over Gaza strip? It seems you are even out of your Zionists ideas.

Comment - Mr. Odeh is being economical with the truth. Now we know that about half of Jordan is palestinian (so much for Israeli occupation eh), the remaining half are from Saudi Arabia . . . note that the British gave Jordan as a gift NOT to the arab or jewish inhabitants but to the sons of the Sharif of Mecca in reward for not attacking the French in Syria in 1922.
And now where is Jordan? Is with King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz or Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz?

Mr. Odeh does not want the "palestinians" (who are essentially disenfranchised and deliberately dispossessed Jordanians) because they will "destroy the fabric of Jordanian society" . . . are these the same Jordanians who are loudly promoting the fraudulent "right of return"?  Grin
So now we know that their right of return hubris is really a back-door plan to destroy the fabric of society. If arabs are afraid of other arabs why should Jews trust them?

Mr. Odeh says Jordan being forced to accept its own citizens it keeps in concentration camps  is tantamount to "loss of their land". I ask him . . . which "land"? They already lost "their land" when you kicked them out of Jordan in 1970 for daring to overthrow your saudi King!
No, It is not a matter of being afraid of fellow Arabs, the governments of these countries I believe are also interested in seeing an Independent Palestinian state, are you expecting them to return back after they have settled in another place? Palestinians are everywhere in the Middle East, and bet me, any Palestinian that got the opportunity leaves the country. Because of the Israel terrorizing actions.

Very interesting piece but i could only post the few i found addressed salient issues that most people here do not bother to probe. Now we know the "palestinians" are simply an arab-created phenomenon designed ostensibly to destroy the Jewish nation from within. Their experiment has failed now it threatens to blow up in their faces.
In response to the above, I quote

The 1937 Peel Commission proposal. A British Royal Commission led by Lord Peel examined the Palestine question beginning late in 1936. Its report, published in July 1937, recommended the creation of a small Jewish state in a region less than 1/5 of the total area of Palestine. The remainder was to be joined to Transjordan except for some parts, including Jerusalem, that would remain under British control.

The Arab population in the Jewish areas was to be removed, by force if necessary, and vice versa, although this would mean the movement of far more Arabs than Jews. The Zionist leaders accepted the proposal, while the Arab leadership rejected the proposal outright. Two more partition plans were also considered: Plan B (map) and Plan C (map). It all came to nothing, as the British government had shelved the proposal altogether by the middle of 1938. In February 1939, the St. James Conference convened in London, but the Arab delegation refused to formally meet with its Jewish counterpart or to recognize them. The Conference ended on March 17, 1939 without making any progress.

On May 17, 1939, the British government issued the White Paper of 1939, in which the idea of partitioning the Mandate was abandoned in favor of Jews and Arabs sharing one government and put strict quotas on further Jewish immigration. Due to impending World War II and the opposition from all sides, the plan was dropped.
Can you see now how Palestine exists before 1947?

Can we simply ask Jordan and Egypt a simple question . . . why are they deliberately violating resolution 242?
From a legal and moral perspective, Israel's actions on Gaza legitimize Egypt's and Jordan's action to close their crossing.

Foreign AffairsRe: War In Gaza;prophecy Being Fulfilled by auwal87(m): 11:39pm On Jan 12, 2009
jewman:
As the current Israeli war against Hamas in Gaza continues, the worldwide propaganda assault against Israel grows exponentially. In the light of this, it's important to review a little history about Gaza. In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza and completely turned its administration over to the Palestinian Authority. All of the Jewish settlements were disbanded and their residents forcibly removed. The Israeli agricultural, commercial and residential assets – which were considerable – were left for the Palestinians.
Israel blocks all crossings to and from Gaza after they leave, it is like a 'War Game' their plan was to cause havoc and pain to Hamas, and weaken the organization. Albeit, Hamas built underground tunnels at the Rafah crossing with Egypt, not only weapons, but food and medicine were also transported through the underground tunnels.

They promptly trashed and destroyed these valuable assets that would have greatly helped them feed their own people. They were given the freedom to develop what easily could have been something like a "Hong Kong" of the Mediterranean. Many nations poured billions of dollars into the coffers of the Palestinian leadership to help them realize that dream.

Instead, the Palestinians used the money to build a terrorist army. They purchased weapons and munitions to equip that army. They smuggled into Gaza a formidable arsenal and began to launch daily attacks on Israel's cities.

They didn't even pretend to build an economic infrastructure that would enable the Gazan citizens to support themselves. That's why the partial Israeli closure of the crossing points has made life so difficult for the average Palestinian. Most of them can only find work in Israel. There is none in Gaza.

Why? Because all of the economic development money was poured into terrorism. Despite this glaring fraud, the world insists on rewarding the Palestinians for their open deception.
How will a nation develop when all its borders are terrorized by foreign forces. Israel does not allow anything to enter Gaza without its approval, it is like to say, since Nigeria got independence from the British, what ever is being imported into Nigeria must be approved by the British.

How would a seriously damaged area become like Hong Kong in just 3 years? Israel has done nothing to develop the area, why won't they allow the Jewish settlers to stay in Gaza? Because they have plan to terrorize the place and kill innocent lives there.

The so-called "enlightened and responsible nations" have developed a formula for exclusive use against Israel. This formula determines under what circumstances and in what manner Israel is allowed to defend itself against terrorist attacks. First, the provocation must be many times more serious than would be necessary for other nations. Simple acts of war, such as hostage-taking or continuous missile attacks against civilian population centers, are not sufficient provocation to permit defensive measures.

Since 2005, more than 6,000 rockets have rained down on Israeli cities from Gaza. In a display of remarkable restraint, only after three years and thousands of unprovoked attacks did Israel finally feel sufficiently justified to launch a defensive response.

Now, the second phase of the anti-Israel propaganda assault kicks in. It begins almost immediately with the usual suspects – led by the Arabs, the Russians, the Muslims – all demanding an immediate Israeli withdrawal from its "invasion" of Gaza.

Right on cue, the members of the United Nations begin their usual chorus – charging that Israel's response is "not proportionate."
If defending a state = terrorizing another state, then does the state been terrorized not have the right to defend it self. Israel is using defense as a political tool to justify its action on Gaza. Like I said in one topic, Israel can target and destroy all rocket attacks in one day, if their aim is to stop rocket attacks from Gaza and stop Hamas from bringing weapons through Rafah then what are they doing in Gaza city now? No body, No military, No sane person will agree that many rockets are fired from within a city which is one of world's most densely populated cities.

Finally, the media revs up their one-sided campaign. Their job is to spotlight the injuries and deaths of Palestinian women and children who are accidentally hit during the intense battles. Apparently, the months and years of constant bombardment lavished on the Israelis by Hamas thugs didn't trigger the media's interest. Only when Israel struck back did the signal go out for the mainstream media to join the fray.
Yes, their job is to spotlight the injuries and deaths of women and children who are accidentally hit during the intense battles.
What more should they show? Ariel Sharon in his hospital bed, Livni with her Zionists friends? or Obama playing chess with Bush?

In Gaza, Hamas terrorists hide in classrooms and hospital basements. They store weapons in mosques and use university laboratories for bomb-making factories. They are currently hiding long-range rockets in the basement of Gaza City's main hospital. They intentionally place women and children on the rooftops of buildings they know will soon be targets of the Israeli air force.

Then, when these human shields are killed or wounded by Israeli fire, the media vents their outrage on the Israeli gunner or pilot, not the calculating terrorist. The bodies of dead terrorists – or their human shields – are then paraded by the ever-accommodating media as "innocent victims of Israeli aggression." And the orchestrated calls for "proportionality" grow louder.
Those statements from Israel only shows their in-efficiency in war, why would you target enemies in the city when those on the outskirt are busy firing rockets to you? What kind of war strategy is this? Of course the aim is to kill as many civilians as possible.

Following this oft-repeated formula, as the selected media images mount, the predictable demands for an unconditional Israeli cease-fire rise to a global crescendo. Moderate Western governments like France, Britain and other EU nations that have large Muslim populations begin to demand that Israel cease this "disproportionate war." The worldwide cry grows until finally the United States is bullied into not vetoing a Security Council resolution condemning Israel as an unjustified aggressor.

This is the formula that has always worked. The Islamic fundamentalists know this formula well. Terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas have perfected the use of this formula to the point of making it a "tactic of war." Islamic terrorists attack and fight until they begin to lose. Then the world rushes in and rescues them to fight another day.

"Proportionality" is the key word that has been especially adapted for use against Israel in order to guarantee its eventual destruction through attrition.

The historically accepted objective of defensive warfare is to eliminate an enemy's ability to harm you. The side that does that first is the winner. And until one side has accomplished that goal, the war continues.

The one overriding goal of Hamas is the annihilation of Israel. It's clearly spelled out in their Charter. They confirm it at every opportunity. The "enlightened nations" just can't grasp this reality. The 6,000-plus rocket attacks against Israel were provoked by nothing more than Israel's continued existence. As long as Israel exists, Hamas' goal remains unfulfilled. The numerous state-supported Islamic terrorist organizations feel the same way.

On the other hand, Israel has demonstrated that it will absorb almost any blow before resorting to war. Israel's one goal is to secure a lasting peace. To achieve that goal, Israel must eliminate the enemy's ability to wage war. If they don't, war will continue in perpetuity.

The U.N.'s definition of "proportionality" in the case of Israel's self-defense means that Israeli losses must be at least equal to Palestinian losses. If Israel follows this formula, it guarantees that they will eventually loose by attrition. It guarantees that war will continue until the Muslims get strong enough to finally obliterate Israel. Just think what would have been the outcome of World War II if the same irrational thinking had been forced on the allied armies fighting against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.

Some argue that Hamas is just defending itself, and homemade missiles are the only weapons they have against Israeli warplanes and tanks. But Hamas is NOT defending itself against Israel when it shells Israeli cities. Israel has not occupied Gaza since its 2005 withdrawal.

However, if Hamas would cease firing rockets and sending suicide bombers into Israel, there would be no need to defend itself. The borders would be open and peace and prosperity would follow.

The indiscriminate firing of rockets into civilian population centers is internationally acknowledged as a war crime. It constitutes collective punishment under U.N. treaty law. But since it's Hamas firing against Jewish targets, the United Nations is silent. This is just another example of how international law is more binding on Israel than any other nation on earth.

There is no other nation whose conduct is subjected to closer scrutiny by "international law experts" than Israel – the U.N. appointed them for that specific purpose. But in the case of Israel, it can be demonstrated that Israel's enemies use U.N. international law against them.

Hamas claims its attacks are in resistance to Israel's closing of its borders. But the reason why Israel closes its borders with Gaza are never mentioned. None of Israel's critics ever consider that every time Israel opens its borders to Palestinian workers, a flood of suicide bombers are sent in. And when Gaza's international borders are opened, Hamas rushes in new and more powerful rockets to fire at Israel's cities.

What is it about Israel that makes it the world's pariah state? How can it be that no insult to the Arabs is too slight to justify wholesale murder, whereas no atrocity, no matter how outrageous, justifies an Israeli defensive response? It matters not how reasonable and legitimate the defensive action would be for any other nation. But leaders from around the world have streamed into the U.N. to defend the "Palestinian democracy" – as if such an entity exists.
Hamas is a political organization like ANPP, PDP, AC, etc. People of Gaza voted for Hamas in 2007 to the Parliament. This means Israel is not fighting Hamas alone, but the whole people of Gaza who voted for Hamas in 2007.

You are a core Zionists to say "Palestinian democracy" - as if such an entity exists." Do you know that Israel is still not recognized by more than 70 countries? Not only Arab countries, but dozens of countries around the world does not have any Diplomatic relation with Israel. What makes that different to the state of Biafra or Somaliland?

It makes absolutely no sense in the natural. Only the Bible can explain the mystery behind the supernatural hatred of the Jews. Bible prophecy predicted that Israel would be miraculously reborn in "the last days." The Bible also predicted that a supernatural hatred against Jews would grow worldwide. This will be soon followed by Armageddon and the return of Jesus the Messiah.

All of this is being fulfilled to the letter before our eyes. So don't be surprised or afraid. Christ's return to deliver those who have believed in Him is coming very soon.
Only if this Israel will be lead by the Devils.

What of if this Israel is an Islamic State that will be lead by Imam Mahadi and Prophet Isa (Jesus)? Everyone know who are suffering now, and your Prophecy (lets take it as being genuine), always talk about Suffering, not hatred.

This war that Israel is fighting now is doing nothing but tarnishing their image in the eyes of the world.

In Asia, I believe the Chinese are watching what is happening, Russians are also watching what is happening, and any action by these two nations can trigger world peace. The fight will be between GOOD and EVIL. We all know our sides.

God will reveal the truth very soon.

davidylan:
what a stupid idiot just blabbering on the same old drivel that has been drilled into his head by clueless imaams.

At just over 8000 sq miles, Israel is 44 times smaller than Nigeria. Care to tell us just exactly which lands they

a. have occupied
b. are planning to occupy?
the territories captured by Israel from Egypt, Jordan, and Syria during the Six-Day War of 1967, consisting of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights

How did you know Israel's mission? I think, just like the rest of us, it is that they can be left alone to develop in peace.
Do not sound like you are always a fool, you are fooling yourself.

those were hospitals built by the jews before they moved out in 2005. Hamas won elections in 2007 . . . where they the ones who built those hospitals idiot?
Please stop fooling yourself, Hamas won election in 2007, but was created in 1987 by Ahmad Yassin and since then they are involved in so many social welfares

Hamas working on humanitarian assistance? What a joke.  Grin
But for their rocket attacks Israel wouldnt even care a jot whether they existed or not.
This is a word from a UN aid worker talking to Reuters in the Israel/Gaza border.

I will level it period! After hundreds of text messages, phone calls and leaflets warning the people to leave they only have themselves to blame.

please tell me which other army in the world gives its enemy advance warning of a strike?
This proves Israel is indiscriminately attacking Palestinians, if not where will the people in Gaza go when everywhere else is under attack, from the Ground, from the Air, everywhere is under attack.

How about we ask the REAL question - is using innocent women, men and potential suicide bombers as human shields the way to "resist"?
Okay, do you know how many people Hamas members have saved since this war started, whose ambulances are they using to get people to the hospital, whose hospitals are they taking the Injured? Hamas is working on humanitarian assistance, they are working side-by-side with UN to save as much lives as possible.

By the way, if you are a military commander and you find yourself in a situation where you were told there is two enemies in a building but there are more than 100 civilians inside including about 50 children, will you command your military to level down the building? Simply Yes or No! Let me see your own simplicity.

auwal you're just making irrelevant noise. How about HAMAS stop launching rockets and decided to resolve any differences at a round table? Is this too much to ask? Why shld other nations spend resources building missiles to stop you evil spawns of the arabs?

Again did you read my rebuttal to your false claim that Israel is "occupying" the middle east? If by "occupying" you mean merely existing then i get your point. Sorry . . . you can shout from now till tomorrow . . . all you'll get is this:
Israel has occupied lands since their creation, and they are still occupying, and they will not stop occupying until they occupied all the middle-east, that is their mission.

In another way to ask people like davidylan,

Is killing innocent women, men, and children, and destroying properties, and targeting UN aid workers the only way to destroy or weaken Hamas?
