The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    SLSpencer The Hamas charter is certainly not irrelevant

    In anything but the mind of a completely batty, myopic idiot.

    Here it is for everyone to read. http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm

    Amy didn't even really scratch the surface of the document, and I suggest everyone here read it. Read about how it's the duty of Palestinian women to teach their children that they must war until all of Palestine (meaning all of Israel/Palestine) is united under Islamic rule, and that this is the only way to obtain peace.

    Or, how the infidel has never dealt fairly with Muslims, so brokered peace is impossible.

    But I'm sure that it's racist and intolerant and irrelevant to point this out, for some vague reason that no one can articulate.

    I expect I will now be set upon from all sides, with people accusing me of all sorts of false motives and ill intent, merely because I pointed out an objective truth (read it yourself for crissakes). It's par for the course with this topic.
