I think truth is that only place in the worlf were official organization control the region kidnapped more more than 30 children.
In which the youngest celebrate 10 months in prison if he wasn't beheaded already
You can have some sorta of static types with cl with syntactic sugar[1]. Although I always prefer static types, forcing them in Lisp strips a lot of its power.
Yeah sure we should blockade 2 million people of oil and supplements in the biggest open-air prison in the word because they might use it to drive and kill people in Israel. I wounder why would they do so? Israel has been treating them very well, bombing them each couple of years.
Israel withdrew from Gaza and as a thank you for that, some palestinians founded Hamas. Hamas now rules over Gaza. It's reasonable to say that they are well supported by the people of Gaza.
OK. So now came the consequences, so be it then. Hopefully Hamas' human shield will stop listening to its orders and do the sensible thing of moving South.
Are you really too dense to see how this same logic could be applied to justify acts that kill Israeli civilians, whose government has been killing Palestinians for decades, encroaching on their land, etc? Of course, your flaw is not logical, it is moral; you merely indulge a desire to take any excuse to dehumanize the Palestinians, the same way many on the other side will not admit the moral reality that attacks that target civilians are not a legitimate form of armed struggle, but merely satisfy their base desire for revenge.
This latest flare-up of violence has really gotten me fed up with the partisans of this conflict in a way that hasn't happened before. Each side is acting like the latest reprisal against them came out of nowhere, and is trying to solicit everyone else's sympathy while blatantly denying the other side's moral worth and their own side's moral transgressions. You all deserve each other. Leave the rest of us out of it.
> "terrorist-sympathizers"? Is that how Zionists identify Palestinians now?
This is not a Palestinian issue. If it were, Israel would be bombing the West Bank as well.
Gazans voluntarily elected Hamas.[1] Hamas then refused to leave after getting involved in violent conflict with their political opponents, Fatah. Were Gazans ignorant of the ideology of the creature called Hamas when they handed them power?
People should stop equating jihadis with civilians. Keep doing this and the suspicion about Muslim civilians having jihadi tendencies gains wider acceptance.
You mean the hamas created and promoted by the Israeli government?[0]
> Instead of trying to curb Gaza's Islamists from the outset, says Mr. Cohen, Israel for years tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged them as a counterweight to the secular nationalists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its dominant faction, Yasser Arafat's Fatah. Israel cooperated with a crippled, half-blind cleric named Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, even as he was laying the foundations for what would become Hamas. Sheikh Yassin continues to inspire militants today; during the recent war in Gaza, Hamas fighters confronted Israeli troops with "Yassins," primitive rocket-propelled grenades named in honor of the cleric.

> You mean the hamas created and promoted by the Israeli government?
Yes. Every power employs divide-and-rule as a policy to control their opponents. When their opponents fight each other, a lot of their resources would be too tied up to fight Israel.
The sooner the West realises that jihadis are not their allies and cannot be controlled, the better.
The U.S. and Europe have been leading the most brutal genocides in history, some of them are very recent, a US representative described once the murder of 500,000 kids in Iraq as "worth it". Why would it make any difference now?
