Quote:mantra - hamas has been sending missiles over to israel for decades.
they refuse to recognise israel and its people.
israel has been the target of threats from islamics for years, this has been growing lately.
I'm sure this is probably true, but in one of the other threads someone mentioned there were a million Palestinian refugees that wouldn't get accepted by any other Muslim state.
In the first place - why should a million people get displaced because the Jews wanted to live in Israel. There shouldn't have been so many refugees - why couldn't they stay in Israel? Although there's 2 million Iraqi refugees who no-one wants and why is that - considering we are responsible for their plight.
As Abu said Hamas were democratically elected and they offered a lifeline to these desperate and disadvantaged Palestinians who are blocked in all their movements and their life resources.
Why should Hamas recognise Israel as a state of the Jews - they believe Israel belongs to them and so they should.
And Sprintcyclist - I still liken this to our aboriginal people. The fuss that's kicked up when the aborigines want a little bit of their land back is abhorrent. If the Jews did live in Israel for 3,000 years - the aboriginal people lived in Australia for 60,000 years and on that principle it gives them the same right as the Jews to reclaim their historical homeland.
