Hamas Exploits Palestinians In Gaza By Creating Martyrs

Posted by | July 19, 2014 16:30 | Filed under: Contributors Opinion Politics Top Stories VegasJessie


At midnight on May 14, 1948 the Provisional Government of Israel proclaimed a new State of Israel and President Truman and the U.S. officially recognized the provisional Jewish government.  Since that time, there has been interminable war, with displaced Palestinians existing with the plight of the “coloreds” of pre-1994 Apartheid South Africa.

Israel’s Iron Dome Protects Humans, Hamas Uses Humans To Protect Weapons

The “Gaza Strip”is a region the size of Detroit with a population of roughly 1.6 million. There’s constant suffering at the hands of the Islamic Hamas government who entertain the ideology that martyrs are good for their movement. Israelis easily dominate the economically and militarily inferior Palestinian people and there really is very little hope for happiness for the people of  Gaza anytime in the near or distant future.

World opinion tends to sympathize with the people of Gaza, and aside from hawkish conservatives in both Israel and the U.S., most feel the Netanyahu Government is in the wrong.  In a world where developed countries are gradually abandoning religious dogma, logic would conclude religion is a very arbitrary means of determining sovereignty.  American Conservatives who believe the Jews are God’s Chosen People defend Israel’s right to mistreat Palestinians. Misery for Gaza is compounded by a government that is more than happy to use them as human shields for their own rockets and not vice versa.

On HBO’s  Real Time With Bill Maher, the host said:

“I feel terrible for a Palestinian child who dies,” Maher said, “but if it’s your father, your brother, your uncle who’s firing those rockets into Israel, who’s fault is it really? Do you really expect the Israelis not to retaliate?” 

The panel agreed, “Israel builds an “Iron Dome” to defend its citizens from missiles, Hamas uses its citizens to defend its missiles.”  But the Israelis have always prevailed in every conflict since its birth mainly because of their values.  Unlike the Jihadist-mentality of Palestine’s Hamas, Israel does everything to protect, educate and care for their citizens.  Maher even said out of necessity, Israel has become very good at defending itself, largely because of the Jewish expertise in science. “Jews have, I think, 155 Nobel Prizes, Muslims have two. That seems like kind of a big advantage for team Hebrew.” Religion creates the problem on two fronts:  both sides use it to lay claim to the land.  The most notable difference: Hamas uses religion to martyr its people while the other side uses religion and science to protect its people, while Israel uses science and religion to protect its people.

    I have compassion for all involved in this mess but Hamas is to the Palestinians as the teaparty is to the republicans, it could lead to the destruction of both of them if they do nothing to control them.

      Do you even know what the Tea Party wants for America? Maybe you should check them out for yourself. http://www.teapartypatriots.org/ourvision/

      • edmeyer_able July 20th, 2014 at 14:18

        Why should I check them out when I don’t believe in their platform.
        Can you tell me what they “believe in”?

        • Bob Waas July 20th, 2014 at 18:59

          You criticize what you don’t know? That’s not a good idea. Here are the Tea Party core beliefs, let me know which ones you disagree with.

          1. Eliminate Excessive Taxes – Excessively high taxes are a burden for those exercising their personal liberty to work
          hard and prosper as afforded by the Constitution. A fiscally responsible government protects the freedom of its citizens to enjoy the fruits of their own labor without interference from a government that has exceeded its necessary size, scope and reach into the lives of its citizens.

          2. Eliminate the National Debt – By implementing fiscally conservative policies at all levels of government, progress can be made toward eliminating the U.S. National Debt. Massive
          increases in the National Debt have created and continue to create a huge burden for the next generation of Americans, thus imperiling the country’s short-term and long-term economic health and prosperity.

          3. Eliminate Deficit Spending – All deficit spending must be eliminated immediately. We insist that government
          representatives at all levels maintain a fiscally responsible budget and balance the books as would be expected of any American business.

          4. Protect Free Markets – America’s free enterprise system allows businesses to thrive as they compete in the open
          marketplace and strive toward ever better services and products. Allowing free markets to prosper unfettered by government interference is what propelled this country to greatness with an enduring belief in the industriousness and
          innovations of the populace.

          5. Abide by the Constitution of the United States – The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land and must be adhered to without exception at all levels of government. This includes the Bill of Rights and other Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and their provisions designed to protect states’ rights and individual liberties.

          6. Promote Civic Responsibility – Citizen involvement at the
          grassroots level allows the voice of the American people to be heard and directs the political behaviors of our representatives at both the local and national level so they, in turn, may be most effective in working to preserve the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of this country’s citizens.

          7. Reduce the Overall Size of Government – A bloated
          bureaucracy creates wasteful spending that plagues our government. Reducing the overall size, scope and reach of government at both local and national levels will help to eliminate inefficiencies that result in deficit spending which adds to our country’s debt.

          8. Believe in the People – The American people, given their guaranteed freedoms, will thrive in a democratic, capitalist environment which allows individuals to strive toward ever greater achievements, innovations and the efficient production of needed and valued goods and services.

          9. Avoid the Pitfalls of Politics – American politics is burdened by big money from lobbyists and special interests with an undue influence on the peoples’ representatives. The Tea Party movement is seen as a threat to the entrenched political parties and thus is the continual target of smear campaigns and misrepresentation of its ideals. We choose not to respond to these attacks except to strongly and explicitly disavow any and all hate speech, any and all violence as well as insinuations of violence, and any and all extreme and fringe elements

          10. Maintain Local Independence – The strength and resilience
          of a grassroots movement is the ability of citizens at the local level to determine their own platforms, agendas and priorities free of an overriding central leadership. Exercising the clearly stated message of the Tea Party movement by its nature involves discourse about which policies and candidates
          best hold to our stated principles, and these various opinions should flourish and evolve at the local level.

          • edmeyer_able July 20th, 2014 at 19:41

            Quick question do you support Palin? expanded background checks? expanded voting hours? LGBT marriage? elimination of oil subsidies? Who is your candidate of choice?

            • Bob Waas July 20th, 2014 at 21:45

              Quick answer.
              1. No
              2. Yes, if it includes photo id to vote
              3. Why, 12 hours is enough
              4. No
              5. No, the added expense will still be paid by the consumer
              6. A true conservative with real work experience.

              • edmeyer_able July 20th, 2014 at 22:06

                  • edmeyer_able July 21st, 2014 at 06:16

                    Possibly a poor choice of words but for me in choosing your party.

                    • Bob Waas July 21st, 2014 at 09:17

                      I’m not registered to a party, I’m registered as unaffiliated. I vote for the candidate who most closely matches the values I seek in a leader. For instance, I voted for JFK, and many times for Bob Graham (Fl), Bill Nelson (Fl) I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton no matter who runs against her. I would vote for Joe Manchin (Wv) and I would have voted for Joe Lieberman over John McCain had he won the primary.

                      It is very freeing not to be tied to a particular party.

    If the Palestinians would reject Hamas and violence they would have the moral high ground over Israel and it would be easy to support them. At the moment though they are more like religious terrorist out of control wanting to pick on bully a lot bigger and smarter than they are. It really seems dumb to me and I have a hard time feeling sorry for them. I really hope the Palestinian people can get their act together and reject Hamas and appeal to the civilized world for help.

    During the caucus meeting, MKs had different ideas of how to fight delegitimization.

    “The best defense is offense. We have to explain our basic stances to the world,” Housing and Construction minister Uri Ariel said.

    Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon called on the many pro-Israel activists from the US in the room to work to convince their government to stop funding the Palestinian government, because it includes Hamas, which the US considers a terrorist organization.

    “Your tax money is being used for incitement and to kidnap children,” he said.

    MK Moshe Feiglin, however, took issue with Danon’s words, asking: “If Israel is still funding the Palestinians, what do we want from the Americans? Our problem is not America, our problem is ourselves.”

    “I believe in God…There is no legitimation for israel without belief in God,” Feiglin said.

    Former Yesha Council chairman Danny Dayan, who is not religious, later wrote a lengthy post on Facebook arguing that Feiglin’s statement did the opposite of the goal of the caucus – it delegitimized Israel.

    “The land is ours. Period. We have a right to it. On the other hand, we live in a time when technology is the light of humankind and faith in God who gave the land to Abraham the Patriarch and his sons can sound, to someone who does not believe, like a story from a movie,” Dayan wrote.

    OP: “Since that time, there has been interminable war, with displaced Palestinians existing with the plight of the “coloreds” of pre-1994 Apartheid South Africa.”

    There were no “Palestinians” in 1948. There was no Palestinian nation. Israel was re-established so the Jews could have the homeland promised them decades earlier. Locals who were “displaced” were mostly displaced by the Arab governments who urged them to leave because these countries had no intention of allowing a Jewish state and threatened war the moment a Jewish state was declared. Large numbers of the Arab residents fled to what they thought would be temporary refugee camps. As soon as Israel was established the Arab neighbors attacked and got their butts kicked. There was supposed to be a state for those we now call Palestinians in what is now Jordan.
    The Arab nations kept these Palestinians living in squalor in the refugee camps.
    In the announcement declaring their nation, the Israelis asked their neighbors to have peace, but the Arabs refused. The Palestinian Liberation organization was founded in the late 1950s to be used as a tool to continue the attacks on the Israelis. Indeed it has been said that the Arab countries are happy to fight the Israelis to the last Palestinian.
    When the Arabs held East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, they made no move to establish a Palestinian state and there has never been an effort by the Palestinians to use nonviolent tactics to achieve their aims.
    While the Palestinians do indeed deserve a state, they have not shown themselves capable of joining the community of nations and living in peace. Their response has always been war, no matter how many times they lose.

      Great post. You did your homework, because you nailed it.

      • burqa July 19th, 2014 at 23:12

        Thanks, Mr. Waas! While neither side has clean hands, the Arabs and Palestinians have never tried nonviolence to achieve their aims. They have consistently sought to magnify civilian casualties whereas the Israelis have gone to great lengths to minimize them.

        What I find crazy as all get-out is circa 1974 the Israelis turned down a deal offered by the Arabs for the Palestinians; but circa 1994 the Israelis offered essentially the same deal to the Palestinians who turned it down.

        • Bob Waas July 19th, 2014 at 23:35

          I doubt we will ever see peace in that region. Both sides need to value the same things, and they don’t. Israel wants to survive and their neighbors want them annihilated. Hard to reach an agreement.
