If You are all Hamas

To all those who subscribe to the notion that "we are all Hamas", I think we need to consider a few inconvenient truths and as associated members of this esteemed organisation, perhaps you would like to also take responsibility for your adopted movement's actions over the recent past.

Let's start with the UN aid that was stolen by Hamas yesterday and sold on the street. Yep, that's right, you guys (remember,you are all Hamas) raided one hundred trucks in Gaza yesterday, stealing vital food and supplies so desperately needed by the Palestinians of Gaza. However apparently the Palestinian people are not your main concern.

Perhaps you could explain why you have booby trapped a school and a children's zoo. Why in the full knowledge that this would undoubtedly lead to massive civilian casualties you decided to sacrifice your children in order to have the chance to kill a few Israeli soldiers. As if the school was not enough, your plans along with maps were discovered and we now understand that the school was just the start. You have in fact booby trapped whole residential neighbourhoods in the hope of inflicting serious casualties on the Zionist enemy. However that is just a hope. What is certain is that your brave action will again lead to huge civilian casualties, Palestinian civilians. Why do you fire missiles from private homes and heavily populated buildings, in contravention f international law and as it happens all things decent? Just how many civilian casualties will suffice in order to serve your warped sense of purpose and propaganda goals. Your strategy may even be working by gaining the sympathy of the world. After all who can argue with the pictures of dead and dying children? You may be losing he battle but with the blood of your dead children you will win the war of words? You must be very proud.

Perhaps again all you proud Hamasniks can explain why you have killed more Palestinians than the Zionist enemy and continue to do so? And then there is Sharia law.........How ironic that you guys manged to reintroduce crucifixion to the region on the eve of Christmas, along with a host of other "effective deterrents" in your new legal system. Your determination to purify Palestine and bring about the complete Islamisation of a traditionally secular society is a worthy endeavour for sure.

When will all you aspiring Hamasniks wake up to the fact that you have been duped. You are being used and manipulated by a cynical and murderous movement which seeks to destroy the very values and freedoms you claim to support. Your naivety is only excelled by your ignorance. If you really want to help the Palestinian people, stop helping the one movement which has done more to destroy Palestinian prospects than any other. Stop undermining the moderates in Palestine who wish to find a pragmatic solution to end the conflict and save their children's future. Stop justifying terror. Stop seeking to legitimise the illegitimate. Perhaps look at what is i the best interests of the Palestinians for a change, rather than your own warped agenda and self righteous indignation. Understand that today in Palestine, the struggle between moderates and extremists is the battle which Palestinians cannot afford to lose. Many Palestinians understand that it is the actions of Hamas (your actions) which have wrought havoc and death on their on people. They understand that today Hamas (you) serves the interests of its paymasters, Iran with scant regard for the interests of Palestinians. You apparently understand very little.

If on the other hand you are among those who do indeed understand these things, yet still see yourselves as Hamas, I wish you a speedy success in your search for martyrdom.
