Thread Name: BS: Israel Moves in.
Subject: RE: BS: Israel Moves in.
Of course Gazans have rights...their leaders exercised those rights to build a wonderful Edenlike paradise. Oh, that was the dream. They exercised those rights to harass nearby Israeli towns and kidnap Israeli soldiers. Then they cried foul when Israel retaliated. Maybe Hamas doesn't have the best interests of their citizenry--oh right, they're not citizens--of the commonalty of Gazans. Maybe they'd rather fight Israel than build a country.

I notice there is little belligerency towards Israel from the Fatah controlled West Bank. I also don't see IDF troops blowing up munitions stores and tunnels there. D'ya think maybe there's a reason Gaza has become a hell hole, while the West Bank is pretty calm? Is, maybe, there an example for Hamas and Gaza on the West Bank?
