The Hamas Dead End

This is the kind of bent viewpoint that I hope has no traction, still.

Gaza is NOT "occupied", in any thorough-going sense of the term, including Qu'ranic. The ugly Hamas there live in a jew-free zone (by choice / sacrifice of the Israelis, not by right), with security safeguards that are consistent with their poor choices, to "resist", instead of growing and building, quite frankly.

"Palestinian actions are reactions. What Palestinians do is to resist the occupation," he said. "It is self-defense. Why did the Americans support the Mujaheddin against the Soviets in Afghanistan? Why did the British support the French agains the Nazis? Why did you have a revolution against the British? Self-defense."
