To this day, Hamas has NEVER made any attacks outside of Israel, the WB, and Gaza. It has been there standing policy to limit the conflict to those lands that are involved.

But now, they believe one of their people was killed in the UAE, and they are considering for the first time, retaliating by hitting an Israeli target abroad.

This would be a dangerous and unwise step for Hamas.

Hamas is has some international support for the sole reason that they have limited their attacks to the region. If they choose to now attack Israelis and Israeli targets in say Britain, the USA, Argentina, Brazil, Russia, etc...and in the process possibly injure or kill unintended targets, they will incur the wrath of the local population and find themselves with much fewer allies than they have today.

The attack on Jews in Argentina by Iran didn't seem to bother anyone.

"He said that the breakthrough in the case came when he and his team identified with certainty the terrorist who carried out the truck bombing near the community center building in July 1994 - a Lebanese man, Ibrahim Hussein Berro. In the attack, 85 Argentines were killed and 230 were injured. Berro is believed to have come to Argentina a week or two before the attack. "

Well some Jews did, but was there a U.N. condemnation?

NEW YORK - Leading American Jewish organizations are planning a public relations campaign to urge Interpol to issue international arrest warrants for the perpetrators of a 1994 bombing attack against the Jewish community building in Buenos Aires.

Are civilian Jews anywhere in the world always considered fair targets?

but it appears Israel is not interested in capturing them and putting them on trial. hmmm...

#2. what if they got the wrong guy? what if they end up killing the wrong guy? mistakes do happen...especially in extra-judicial killings.

#3. how does this effect Israel's relations with the nation where these killings take place? what does this do to Israel's image as a democracy?

The USA is also in a war against terrorism. And we have arrested many terrorists abroad. Perhaps Israel should take a lesson from us, and try to arrest people first..but kill when all else fails.

I don't know exactly, but they've arrested thousands. I don't know how many from overseas, as Hamas, Hezbollah et al tend to only travel to countries which won't extradite anyone to Israel.

How many Al-Qaeda has the USA arrested and brought to trial, from overseas?
Probably close to a dozen. I can only think of 6 or 7 off hand.

But in fairness to reality, they don't actually have much international support. They're already listed as a bonafied terrorist organisation by most of the world - certainly the West. Maybe they're wondering whether things could get any worse for them if they actually lived up to that name on an international level.

You seem to think that smiling and being friendly with someone in a photo-op (http://mensa-barbie.com/bloggerimages/abbas_haniyeh_bomb_joy%20copy.JPG) is somehow evidence Hamas is not trying to kill them.

In fact, of course, it is no barrier against trying to kill them the next day (http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9509/israel_peace/09-24/arafat_holdcap.jpg), when it suits one's purpose, in the Arab world in particular or in the larger world of dictatorial kleptocracies in general.

That Hamas' leader is smiling at idiot Neturey Karta folks doesn't mean he isn't trying to kill all the Jews he can (for which there is, of course, ample documentation) -- including them, once their usefulness in helping him kill other Jews is over; much like Ahmadejinad using these useful idiots (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lfH6fpz9oHE/S0S83rUHzRI/AAAAAAAAA0k/uBoMHQXysgk/s320/NATUREY.jpg) is certainly compatible with him planning a second holocaust.

Let us just note a few (http://onemansthoughts.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/chamberlain.jpg) more (http://www.rus-obr.ru/files/u15/Stalin_Ribbentrop.jpg) examples (http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00248/pg-23-kim-jong-il-e_248193s.jpg) of "smiling while thinking how to kill the sonsofbitches" -- I could easily give dozens more.

I challenge anyone to find a statement by a high-level Hamas leader, stating that they consider all Jews throughout the world, their enemy, and that all Jews throughout the world, are legitimate targets.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2006/apr/09/israel




In an editorial in The Guardian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian) in January 2006, Khaled Meshaal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaled_Meshaal), the chief of Hamas's political bureau stated:

"Our message to the Israelis is this: We do not fight you because you belong to a certain faith or culture. Jews have lived in the Muslim world for 13 centuries in peace and harmony; they are in our religion "the people of the book (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_of_the_book)" who have a covenant from God and his messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him), to be respected and protected." "Our conflict with you is not religious but political. We have no problem with Jews who have not attacked us — our problem is with those who came to our land, imposed themselves on us by force, destroyed our society and banished our people."[35] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas#cite_note-Guardian31012006-34)






The Guardian reported Khaled Meshaal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaled_Meshaal)'s statement that, "As a Palestinian today I speak of a Palestinian and Arab demand for a state on 1967 borders. It is true that in reality there will be an entity or state called Israel on the rest of Palestinian land." In the same article, Ismail Haniyeh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ismail_Haniyeh), the Palestinian prime minister, was quoted as saying, "Israel is there, it is part of the United Nations and we do not deny its existence. But we still have rights and land there which have been usurped and until these matters are dealt with we will withhold our recognition,"[172] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas#cite_note-171)

Article Twenty-Two:

For a long time, the enemies have been planning, skillfully and with precision, for the achievement of what they have attained. They took into consideration the causes affecting the current of events. They strived to amass great and substantive material wealth which they devoted to the realisation of their dream. With their money, they took control of the world media, news agencies, the press, publishing houses, broadcasting stations, and others. With their money they stirred revolutions in various parts of the world with the purpose of achieving their interests and reaping the fruit therein. They were behind the French Revolution, the Communist revolution and most of the revolutions we heard and hear about, here and there. With their money they formed secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving Zionist interests. With their money they were able to control imperialistic countries and instigate them to colonize many countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and spread corruption there.

You may speak as much as you want about regional and world wars. They were behind World War I, when they were able to destroy the Islamic Caliphate, making financial gains and controlling resources. They obtained the Balfour Declaration, formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains by trading in armaments, and paved the way for the establishment of their state. It was they who instigated the replacement of the League of Nations with the United Nations and the Security Council to enable them to rule the world through them. There is no war going on anywhere, without having their finger in it.

"So often as they shall kindle a fire for war, Allah shall extinguish it; and they shall set their minds to act corruptly in the earth, but Allah loveth not the corrupt doers." (The Table - verse 64).

The imperialistic forces in the Capitalist West and Communist East, support the enemy with all their might, in money and in men. These forces take turns in doing that. The day Islam appears, the forces of infidelity would unite to challenge it, for the infidels are of one nation.

If they like to contradict their charter so much, they should amend it.

EDIT: to make the inference more clear, the charter predicts an inevitable war between Islam and...the forces of infidelity.

Israel has always been trying to provoke Hamas. That is exactly what they did leading up to the Gaza War last year. Israel wanted Hamas to fire the rockets into Israel.

Do you mean Hamas' charter?, which includes this quote:

The Islamic Resistance Movement is a humanistic movement. It takes care of human rights and is guided by Islamic tolerance when dealing with the followers of other religions. It does not antagonize anyone of them except if it is antagonized by it or stands in its way to hamper its moves and waste its efforts.

Under the wing of Islam, it is possible for the followers of the three religions - Islam, Christianity and Judaism - to coexist in peace and quiet with each other. Peace and quiet would not be possible except under the wing of Islam. Past and present history are the best witness to that.

[...]

and they fail it...quite sadly.To see the difference between not living up to ideals of justice and equality as "evidence" that someone else living up to the ideals of genociding millions surely doesn't really mean it, is like saying the guy with a knife shouting "I'll kill you!" is harmless because he is no different than the man writing the new year resolution "I will lose weight!"

As Charles Babbage said, I can't quite fathom the kind of mind that gives rise to this sort of confusion.

um..do you actually think that Hamas seeks to kill the Satmar Chassidim?

do you actually think that Hamas seeks to kill liberal Jewish Americans?

what proof would you have to justify such a belief?Well, there is this (http://www.pij.org/details.php?id=345) and this (http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/935.htm) and this (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/129242) (asking for the killing of Jews "all over the world"), and this (http://www.pmw.org.il/tv%20part6.html) and this (http://beltwayblips.dailyradar.com/video/la_hamas_supporters_scream_long_live_hitler_put_je ws/) and this (http://sheikyermami.com/2009/01/18/berlin-court-hamas-flags-okay-call-to-murder-jews-banned/) and this (http://www.mererhetoric.com/archives/11275894.html) (the second video in particular, about Jews -- actually Hassidic ones, the ones you claim Hamas has nothing against -- shown drinking gentile blood), to use the results of a few quick googlings.

I'm sure there are hundreds more. And by the way, just because you try to explain away the Hamas charter doesn't mean it doesn't count or doesn't exist. If they don't mean it, they should change it. But it is beyond comprehension why you, one of their intended targets according to their own words, are taking it upon yourself to "explain" they don't really mean it.

You know, the last time somebody seriously suggested, "true, these guys keep saying they will kill all us Jews, but surely they just means other types of Jews, the trouble-making kind, not me" was in the Warsaw ghetto ca. 1942. We all know how that turned out. I always thought that lesson was seared into the Jewish consciousness, but apparently, I was wrong.

You know, the last time somebody seriously suggested, "true, these guys keep saying they will kill all us Jews, but surely they just means other types of Jews, the trouble-making kind, not me" was in the Warsaw ghetto ca. 1942. We all know how that turned out. I always thought that lesson was seared into the Jewish consciousness, but apparently, I was wrong.

To this day, Hamas has NEVER made any attacks outside of Israel, the WB, and Gaza. It has been there standing policy to limit the conflict to those lands that are involved.

But now, they believe one of their people was killed in the UAE, and they are considering for the first time, retaliating by hitting an Israeli target abroad.

This would be a dangerous and unwise step for Hamas.

Hamas is has some international support for the sole reason that they have limited their attacks to the region. If they choose to now attack Israelis and Israeli targets in say Britain, the USA, Argentina, Brazil, Russia, etc...and in the process possibly injure or kill unintended targets, they will incur the wrath of the local population and find themselves with much fewer allies than they have today.

Summary execution for breaking that house arrest is very extreme and I disagree with it.

Hamas, of course, have killed plenty of people who posed no direct military threat to them. Some suicide bombings spring to mind.

As near as I can tell, you argument is that Hamas has behaved somewhat rationally when one breaks down their actions to the most basic level - they get hit, they try to hit back, etc. The counterpoint to this is, of course, the inherent unpredictability and untrustworthiness of an organization that shows little tolerance for dissent or provocation and a startling lack of regard for human life in general.

That has been the position from the get-go and has been clearly stated as such, yet you seem to obfuscate and backpedal this matter by stating that they have no intent since they haven't acted on it yet or acted on it repeatedly. Intent is there, which has been established via Hamas's own sources.

Just like most offshoots/wings of the Muslim Brotherhood who follow this hadith:
Sahih Bukhari, Book 52, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176 (http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/052.sbt.html)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight wi the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' "

It is a policy of those organizations, albeit a long-term one. Other offshoots/wings of the Muslim Brotherhood have indeed acted upon it, ie Al Qaida.

Hamas has decided for the time being to keep their terrorist operations within Israel and the disputed territories in order to garner 'sympathy' for their 'cause' since killing non-Jewish kaffirs won't work to their advantage. This decision does not have to do with their policy/desire of not killing Jews worldwide in the long-run.

Mind you, there have been cases, ie Ahmed Wahabe, who was trained by Hamas, to target Jews residing in the US and Canada. So there do exist proxy operatives trained and financed by Hamas to attack Jews outside Israel and the disputed territories.

um...I hate to break this to you, but it is indeed traditional Jewish belief, that since the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 135, the Jews have been in a state of "Galut" or exile. Our failure to follow God's laws is what led to the destruction of the Temple, and all other calamities that befall us are a result of our failure to follow God's will.

This is traditional Jewish belief. It is not isolated to Naturie Karta, Hassidim, or even ultra-Orthodox Jews. The Inquisition, the pogroms, the exile from Spain, and even the Holocaust, are seen as example of the Jews being out of God's divine protection...or even worse....examples of God's angel of death punishing us.

This state of exile, or lack of Godly protection, will end ONLY when the Messiah finally comes to Earth and establishes his holy Kingdom in Jerusalem, and brings back ALL Jews to Israel.

Some of them belong to Neturei Karta (Guardians of the City), a Hasidic sect of a few thousand people which views Zionism - the movement to establish a Jewish national home or state in what was Palestine - as a "poison" threatening "true Jews".

Neturei Karta's views are regarded with abhorrence by most other Orthodox Jews, according to Rabbi Jeremy Rosen of the Yakar centre in London.

"And I think, frankly, even among the Hasidic world, by and large Neturei Karta are regarded as freaks," the Orthodox rabbi told the BBC News website.

Now, Satmar Chassidim and Naturei Karta are not identical, but they are political and ideological allies. And they are both, anti-Zionist.

"In keeping with the Talmud's warnings that impatience for God's love and redemption can lead to grave danger, the Satmar Hasidim have often interpreted the constant wars and terrorism in Israel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab-Israeli_conflict) as fulfillment of that prophecy."

...its people here in Politics or Current Events who apperantly claim with complete seriousness "Oh, they aren't serious when they say they're going to kill us all."

Even this quote, given above,

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight wi the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' "

Doesn't mean that all the Jews will be killed. It says: "You will fight the Jews until even the stones help you kill them". It says Jews will die in this fight. It doesn't say all Jews.

Add to that the parts of the Hamas charter which talk about living in peace, and the quote from the Quran which warns not to mistreat people who neither wage war upon Muslims nor throw them out of their homes -- it seems quite clear that the ideals being put forward are ones of fighting for their right to live in peace in their homes.

Their means of fighting includes terrorism. That doesn't mean they want to kill everybody. Even terrorists can have less genocidal aims.


You know, even if Hamas decided to start attacking Israelis outside of Israel -- it wouldn't change my opinion of them. They are terrorists now. They will be terrorists if they widen their campaign.

It also won't change my mind regarding their aims: which are to destroy Israel as a state and have Islam in control of the middle east once again -- that doesn't mean genocide. Jews have lived under Islam before and, whether you think it is reasonable or not, it is reasonable for someone to suppose that Jews will do so again.

"as I said before, it is traditional Jewish belief to view all of our great tragedies as Godly punishment for our sinful ways, or at least see God's lack of protection from these enemies as part of our state of spiritual exile."

I guess you guys are failing to grasp this.

And what you're failing to grasp is that most Jews -- even the Ultra-Orthodox -- don't consider all the agents of God's will to be angels. Angels (or messengers to be more precise) are a special breed of heavenly spirit divinely touched with specific commands. Not everyone who follows God's will are angels. In fact very few are.

Naturei Karta believes Hitler an angel because they believe that anybody who doesn't follow their brand of Judaism should be killed and will be killed by God's hand. And since Hitler was the most able killer of Jews since Emperor Hadrian, the Naturei Karta decided he was even holier than, well, pretty much anybody but the Prophets and Patriarchs.

So, yes, Naturei Karta's veneration of Hitler goes beyond even the belief among some Jews that persecution of Jews is caused by Jews' own failure to follow the Law. We know that because they call him an "angel of God."

Once again, you inadequate Jewish education appears to coincide perfectly with your ability to read things to fit your preconceptions.

And, yes, Naturei Karta are still Jews, by most Jews' definition of the term. But just as the Nazis were more than content to allow Jewish overseers (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/Westerbork.html) to live as they helped the Nazis choose which other Jews should be shipped off for execution, Hamas seems content enough to allow Naturei Karta to live while they give political cover to Hamas so useful idiots can convince themselves that Hamas doesn't really mean it when they say they want to kill all the Jews.

Depends on how kaffirs, which includes Jews in this case, react to Islamic law once it has been established.

They either 1. Accept Islam or 2. Reject Islam 'without waging war or subverting or contriving against authority'. Which implies that if you do not go against the Islamic law when it comes to the treatment of kaffirs, from building codes, forms of religious practices, etc., you won't be punished, of which includes forced deportation, appropriation of property/funds/etc. and/or death. This is the interpretation of strict Islamic law, which applies variously to a number of countries, and the Islamic countries which strictly abide by such Islamic laws, ie Wahhabism, miraculously has a nominal number of Jews or none at all residing in those countries, of which Yemen has been added to the list with Saudi Arabia.

With the gray spots within the surrahs and hadiths, rulers of Islamic countries have the ability to further makes life horrible for kaffirs, which included some sects of Islam which are deemed impure, ie Zaydi rule.

This does, however, only apply when a country is under Islamic law. When it doesn't, there's substantially more breathing space when it comes to killing kaffirs without just means, often circumventing the often general rules of war/engagement under Islamic law. There have been a number of cases where even their prophet mohammed circumvented the rules of war/engagement that he himself set out, as during the month of which no violence is allowed by attacking an unarmed caravan.

The point here is that any Jew in Israel is fair game and has been with Hamas's terrorist attacks. The intent is still there for Jews living outside of Israel regardless if Hamas chooses not to invoke or proceed with attacks outside Israel at this point in their agenda. There's a reason that Hamas's preachers and religious scholars refer to Zionist control (ie Jewish control since Hamas doesn't distinguish between the two) of the West. Jews outside of Israel are seen as supporters and financiers of Israel, hence fair game for attacks.


Their means of fighting includes terrorism. That doesn't mean they want to kill everybody. Even terrorists can have less genocidal aims.

The gist of it is subjugation, deportation or death under strict Islamic law. There's no argument that the endgame for Islam is total hegemony, there's simply no set date. Until then there's a variety a methods towards this endgame of which the Shia Taqiyya is part of, until this endgame is reached, which includes subjugation of kaffirs until they are eventually forced to convert since in the hypothetical endgame, there would be no place where Jews can flee or be deported to. Hence the end of Judaism and other kaffir religions (and sects of Islam, which ever would prevail).

If kaffirs are deemed to be fighting against Islamic authority, ie an invading Islamic army, they are deemed to be fair game to be killed. So the intent for genocide is there.


It also won't change my mind regarding their aims: which are to destroy Israel as a state and have Islam in control of the middle east once again -- that doesn't mean genocide. Jews have lived under Islam before and, whether you think it is reasonable or not, it is reasonable for someone to suppose that Jews will do so again.
There has been a major transition within strict observers (and even moderate ones) of Islam from the time of prophet Mohammed to the Moors to the Almohads from that of ridicule and harsh treatment of kaffirs, namely Jews, to a more offensive approach of the last century, which is a repeat of the beginning of Islam in the 6th century. Unlike the time during the advent of Islam when Jews did have the capability to oppose Islamic conquest (of which the results we know quite well), the middle period Jews didn't have the capability for self-defense, hence a reversion to ridicule. Now that Israel, and namely Jews have this capability once again, a reversion to the initial approach of prophet Mohammed is once again in play. The litmus test of this would be the Arabia in the 6th century, which I hope you would admit, was genocide of Jews.

When it comes to establishing an Islamic state of Palestine, how do you think Hamas and their like-minded terrorist organizations and offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood, including Al Qaida, will achieve their short term goal of destruction of Israel? That Israel will simply subjugate? Unless you want to somehow redefine what a genocide is, genocide would be the means. So for the Bukhari quote, intent of genocide is there as seen through the usage of this by Islamists, and the killing or subjugation (hence the end of Judaism) is there. Short term goals, you might be correct in your statements, but you are missing the bigger picture.

According to the Yale University Lillian Goldman Law Library (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp), the exact quote from the Hamas Charter, translated to English is:


"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

Maybe you should take that up with people who think that rocks and trees are talking to them and telling them where to find jews to kill?

What's most telling about that quote is that it doesn't say "Israel" or "zionists", but just plain "jews".

It's not the jewish view of the afterlife that's the issue here. It's Nueteri Karts claim that Hitler was a "MESSENGER OF DIVINE WRATH".

Wrath? Really? Just what the hell did Anne Frank do that so enraged God that he Sent Adolf Hitler to kill her?

Most mainstream religious people, jews or otherwise, are capable of coming to the conclusion that not everything that happens is automatically Gods will. Neuteri Karta on the other hand, seem to want to be recognized as the Westboro Baptists of Judaism.

Depends on how kaffirs, which includes Jews in this case, react to Islamic law once it has been established.

As has been established by history, Jews have accepted living under Islam before. Hamas expects they'd do it again.

There have been a number of cases where even their prophet mohammed circumvented the rules of war/engagement that he himself set out, as during the month of which no violence is allowed by attacking an unarmed caravan.

Are you talking about the caravan of goods stolen from Muslims who had been forced out of Mecca? That month you speak of is a pre-Islamic tradition which Mohammed had some respect for but didn't feel bound by. Why allow yourself to be robbed just because of the calender?

The gist of it is subjugation, deportation or death under strict Islamic law. There's no argument that the endgame for Islam is total hegemony, there's simply no set date. Until then there's a variety a methods towards this endgame of which the Shia Taqiyya is part of, until this endgame is reached, which includes subjugation of kaffirs until they are eventually forced to convert since in the hypothetical endgame, there would be no place where Jews can flee or be deported to. Hence the end of Judaism and other kaffir religions (and sects of Islam, which ever would prevail).

Do you have any idea how mad this sounds? For how many years did Muslims rule Jerusalem before they became the majority religion?

When it comes to establishing an Islamic state of Palestine, how do you think Hamas and their like-minded terrorist organizations and offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood, including Al Qaida, will achieve their short term goal of destruction of Israel? That Israel will simply subjugate? Unless you want to somehow redefine what a genocide is, genocide would be the means.

I think the Palestinian's plan is to wait until the settlements get so large that everyone -- even America -- admits that the two-state solution is impossible. So a one-state solution comes to be. And Muslims will out-vote the non-Muslims.

Even Hamas know they can't win on the battlefield. They aim to hang in there until the politics change. And politics will always change. A double dip recession might do it. If not... Then their will be other economic challenges, especially as China becomes more powerful.

BTW FireGarden, do you know why Saudi Arabia has little archeological sites dating to pre-Islamic times? It's because they can't even admit there were ever any non-Islamic people living in Saudi Arabia, particularly Jews.

Are you aware that much of the Islamic history has been destroyed?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_sites_associated_with_early_Islam

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/the-destruction-of-mecca-saudi-hardliners-are-wiping-out-their-own-heritage-501647.html

Almost all of the rich and multi-layered history of the holy city is gone. The Washington-based Gulf Institute estimates that 95 per cent of millennium-old buildings have been demolished in the past two decades.

Now the actual birthplace of the Prophet Mohamed is facing the bulldozers, with the connivance of Saudi religious authorities whose hardline interpretation of Islam is compelling them to wipe out their own heritage.



If a pre-Islamic Jewish site is discovered it is sealed off and kept secret. Wahabbists can't even live with dead Jews, why would Wahabbist wannabes like Hamas be any different?

The Saudi Wahabbists can't even live with dead Muslims. Kind of makes me think you've not understood the motivations at work in Saudi.

As has been established by history, Jews have accepted living under Islam before. Hamas expects they'd do it again.

So you missed the gist of my entire post with the changes within the Islamic uhmmah, with the most recent influence of Sayyid Qutb of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas considers itself a wing of, to that of Islamists' views and actions pertaining to treatment of kaffirs and how the world should be governed? We aren't talking about post-Mohammed era until the end 19th century, we're talking about modern times and the teachings within Islamist madrassa and statements from Hamas officials themselves.

Yet again, how do you think Israel would be destroyed? Passively?


Are you talking about the caravan of goods stolen from Muslims who had been forced out of Mecca? That month you speak of is a pre-Islamic tradition which Mohammed had some respect for but didn't feel bound by. Why allow yourself to be robbed just because of the calender?

There's many examples of fighting during the month of Rejab. A prime example consisted during 623 AD when a group of unarmed merchants from the Quraysh tribe (to which Mohammed still belonged to) were traveling to Mecca with trading goods like raisins and animal skins. They were slaughtered, beheaded, and dismembered. These merchants were not providing logistical support or were carrying weapons bound for Mecca.

So they were robbed since these goods didn't belong to the raiding Mohammed party (since they weren't traveling from Mecca, but to it), it was during Rejab, these men were unarmed, they weren't providing support for any armies in Mecca, and Mohammed didn't abide by the rules of engagement that he made up.

There are many examples, but this is one of them. There's no room to twist into justifying this sort of attack.


Do you have any idea how mad this sounds? For how many years did Muslims rule Jerusalem before they became the majority religion?

You assume that there exists a deal of sanity when dealing with religion. As for the second question, I've already answered this and you need to re-read what I've posted previously.

What exactly does this have to do with what your quoted from my response and the post overall? Nothing.

Stagnation in the peace process is not held up by the settlements it is merely an excuse by the PA and Hamas to continue with their pointless 'resistance' and embezzlement of aid, the majority of which, including the illegal outposts, will be pulled out of a final status agreement. Funding from the Israeli government for those in the WB has been slowly winding down so I don't see how any sort of increased expansion will be going on in the future or is presently occurring. Unless of course we're talking in about another 100 or so years? I'm not aware of any explosive growth or expansion in already existing settlement blocs at this point.

So how far are you going to excusing the methods and approaches of Hamas? Because right here I see you justifying a one-state solution as being inevitable even without actually being bedded in reality.

I don't think he's suggesting there aren't Jews who can speak Arabic. I think he's suggesting that the Jews are lying about what the Hamas charter says.

ever hear of the "angel of death"?
And what about the angel of death, Parky. Are you saying it's an insult to be called the angel of death in Judaism? Because, your extensive Jewish education apparently neglected to mention that the angel of death in Judaism is Samael (well, according to some rabbinical writings), who is quite revered. Samael is also the angel who held Abraham's arm back so he wouldn't kill Isaac, an the angel who wrestled with Jacob.

You appear to be accepting some sort of Christian idea of the Angel of Death as a Charonic malevolent fallen evil angel. That's not Judaism, and I'm pretty sure the ultra-Orthodox Jews of Naturei Karta would know that even if you don't.

So calling Hitler the Angel of Death (if that's what was meant) isn't an insult at all. It would be quite an honor to be compared to Samael. (Of course, you're just assuming that was the angel to which Hitler was being compared.)

So, yes, parky, the more you claim to know about Judaism, the more clear it becomes that you're either pretending to be Jewish, or you're Jewish, but completely ignorant of your own religion.


(And the Yakar Center (http://www.yakar.org/english/default.asp) is based out of Jerusalem. Rabbi Rosen, the late spiritual leader of the center, was orignally from London, but he and his center worked from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. He is well known -- among people who aren't ignorant of Judaism -- for his scholarship. He passed away in December 2008. Yakar Center is dedicated, in part, to encouraging understanding and tolerance amongst Jewish sects. On behalf of my Reform community I've worked with the Yakar Center to increase understanding between Reform and Orthodox Jews. Naturei Karta rebuffs all such attempts, however, because they full expect God will kill all the other Jews because they are insufficiently dedicated to God -- because they haven't joined Naturei Karta. They are a hateful group who delights in the misfortune of other Jews as evidence of God's wrath. The idolize anybody who persecutes other Jews, and assume that antisemitism is entirely the fault of Jews who are insufficiently observant -- and that would include you, I'm sure.)

Qutb was killed in 1966. He was influencial but the Muslim Brotherhood split with him. You can see the details in this pdf:
http://www.nixoncenter.org/publications/LeikenBrookeMB.pdf

So to take his writings as being some kind of manifesto for the Brotherhood is bogus. He speaks for Jihadists like this guy quoted in the above article:

“Qutb has influenced all those interested in jihad throughout the Islamic world,” said a founding member of al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, an erstwhile jihadist group known for its vicious campaign against foreign tourists in Egypt during the 1980s. “The Brothers,” he continued sadly, “have abandoned the ideas of Sayyid Qutb.”

[...] Having lost the internal struggle for the Brotherhood, the radicals regrouped outside it, in sects that sought to topple regimes throughout the Muslim world. (Groups such as al Jihad would furnish the Egyptian core of al Qaeda.) These jihadists view the Brotherhood’s
embrace of democracy as blasphemy.

Hamas was founded in 1987, btw:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas
So it seems rather difficult to link them to Qutb via the Brotherhood which disowned him.

Yet again, how do you think Israel would be destroyed? Passively?

I've already told you, but you seem to have missed it:

It was an answer to your question: how will Israel be destroyed?

Stagnation in the peace process is not held up by the settlements it is merely an excuse by the PA and Hamas to continue with their pointless 'resistance' [...]

Err, no. This is their resistance. As I said before. The two state solution, if not already impossible, is quickly becoming so. A one-state solution is the destruction of Israel.

There's many examples of fighting during the month of Rejab. A prime example consisted during 623 AD when a group of unarmed merchants from the Quraysh tribe (to which Mohammed still belonged to) were traveling to Mecca with trading goods like raisins and animal skins. They were slaughtered, beheaded, and dismembered. These merchants were not providing logistical support or were carrying weapons bound for Mecca.

So they were robbed since these goods didn't belong to the raiding Mohammed party (since they weren't traveling from Mecca, but to it), it was during Rejab, these men were unarmed, they weren't providing support for any armies in Mecca,

You might be right on the direction of the journey. But, if a caravan is on its way back from selling stolen goods, should it be left alone?

and Mohammed didn't abide by the rules of engagement that he made up.

Not fighting in the month of Rajab is a pre-Islamic tradition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajab

So Mohammed didn't make it up.

As for the second question, I've already answered this and you need to re-read what I've posted previously.

Have Jews ever been able to live under Wahabbist rule?

Wahhabists have only ever ruled in Saudi, so the answer is: no.

And Hamas definitely has a Wahabbist philosophy, they are closely related to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Because the Brotherhood is Wahhabist? I don't think so. They were funded by Wahhabi Saudis, which is why the Brotherhood are called "ingrates" in that part of the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood

The Muslim Brotherhood's brand of Islam and Islamic politics differs from the strict Salafi creed, Wahhabiyya, officially held by the state of Saudi Arabia. Despite this, the Brotherhood has been tolerated by the Saudi government, and maintains a presence in the country.[citation needed] Aside from tolerating the Brotherhood organization[citation needed], and according to Washington Post report, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef has denounced the Brotherhood, saying it is guilty of "betrayal of pledges and ingratitude" and is "the source of all problems in the Islamic world."

From the pdf I linked above, regarding the Brotherhood [emphasis mine]:
http://www.nixoncenter.org/publications/LeikenBrookeMB.pdf

When we asked Muslim Brothers in the Middle East and Europe whether they considered themselves Salafists (as they are frequently identified), they usually met our question with a Clintonian response:

“That depends on what your definition of Salafist is.” If by Salafism we meant the modernist, renaissance Islam of Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani and Muhammad Abduh (turn-of-the-twentieth-century reformers who influenced Banna), then yes, they were Salafists.Yet the ubiquitous Web site www.salafipublications.com, which is run by Salafists who believe that religion should never mix with politics and that existing rulers should be supported almost unconditionally, attacks Afghani and Abduh for being “far away from the Salafi aqidah [creed].” (This is the view, for obvious reasons, of the Saudi religious establishment.)

Such “pietists,” most of whom were trained in official Saudi institutions, argue that the Brotherhood’s participation in politics has converted them into the “Bankrupt Brotherhood.”According to one,“The Muslim Brothers have political goals and strategies, which induce them to make concessions to the West. For us, the Salafists, the goal is purely religious.”

Muhammad Abduh, btw, was a Freemason! :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_%27Abduh

Under the influence of al-Afghani, Abduh joined the Freemasons ...

[...] He was exiled from Egypt in 1882 for six years, for supporting the Urabi Revolt. He had stated that every society should be allowed to choose a suitable form of government based on its history and its present circumstances.

[...] He published many articles in the Beirut paper and also helped form a secret society in Beirut which was dedicated to furthering respect and friendship between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

[...] He travelled a great deal and met with European scholars in Cambridge and Oxford. He studied French law and read a great many European and Arab works in the libraries of Vienna and Berlin. The conclusions he drew from his travels were that Muslims suffer from ignorance about their own religion and the despotism of unjust rulers.

Muhammad Abduh died on 11 July 1905. People from all around the world sent their condolences.


[...] Mohammad Abduh wanted to make Islam compatible with nineteenth-century rationalism. According to him Muslims could not simply rely on the interpretations of texts provided by medieval clerics, they needed to use reason to keep up with changing times.

[...] He said that the two greatest possessions relating to religion that man was graced with was independence of will and independence of thought and opinion. It was with the help of these tools that he could attain happiness. He believed that the growth of western civilization in Europe was based on these two principles. He thought that Europeans were roused to act after a large number of them were able to exercise their choice and to seek out facts with their minds.

Remind you of the Saudi Wahhabis? Me neither.

The influence of Abduh is towards Muslims co-operating together. Qutb, who believed he could single out Muslims as not really being Muslims, couldn't turn the Brotherhood his way. It was on that particular point that the Brotherhood split with him.

In fact, the only thing Qutb and Abduh seem to have in common is an opposition to colonialism/imperialism.

you provide me a quote from Naturei Karta, where they consider the Holocaust to have been God's punishment against individual sinners, and those who survived the Holocaust were not sinners and were saved due to God's will, and I will retract my "lie" statement. cause in that case, NK would be accusing individual victims (including very young children) of being sinners deserving of Holy punishment, and that would not be cool.

Already done. Over and over and over and over again.

But you're a Holocaust Cheerleader Denier, so you'll never accept it regardless of how much evidence we provide.

"for the 8th millionth time" (http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/holocaust-zionism.htm)

"Grand Rabbi Teitelbaum, scion to a legacy of holy mystics and Hassidic Masters unfortunately had his prediction fulfilled. We lost more than six million of our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters in a very horrible manner. This, more than six million holy people had to experience as punishment for the Zionist stupidity. The Holocaust, he wept, was a direct result of Zionism, a punishment from G-d. IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT ALL THE SAGES AND SAINTS IN EUROPE AT THE TIME OF HITLER'S RISE DECLARED THAT HE WAS A MESSENGER OF DIVINE WRATH, SENT TO CHASTEN THE JEWS BECAUSE OF THE BITTER APOSTASY OF ZIONISM AGAINST THE BELIEF IN THE EVENTUAL MESSIANIC REDEMPTION."


and from this, you read that the Satmars believe that the 6 million died due to their OWN sins???????????????


you should get better glasses. the Satmars are clearly saying that the 6 million INNOCENT Jews died as a result of Zionism. not that they themselves were guilty of any crime.

From the very same speech:

Nowhere in the speech does Rabbi Cohen call the Nazis themselves evil. They were the chosen agents of God, which is why Hitler is considered an angel. The deaths of Jews is called evil, but the blame for that evil lies, according to Neuterei Karta, with non-obseervant Jews of the day, whose violative behavior caused the Holocaust. That's who Neuterei Karta blames for the Holocaust.

You do realize that passage you just quoted states that the Holocaust was the jews fault for not marching to Neuteri Kartas tune, don't you?

Out here in the real world, 6 million jews died because the Nazis picked them as their scapegoats for problems that the jewish people couldn't possibly have been responsible for.

Neuteri Karta uses the Holocaust to score cheap points against thier fellow jews. It's a disgusting hate-filled temper tantrum. For them to pin the blame on the jewish people is to validate the Nazis actions.

Of course, Parky's statement that NK "has a problem with Zionists" (understatement of the year), only supports the originalpoint, which is that NK should be the last Jews on the list of those Hamas wants to kill because they are allies of convenience against the Jews closest to them -- Israeli Jews.

Parky's argument that Hamas can't want to kill all Jews because they didn't kill NK, requires Parky to believe that Hamas lacks any capacity to prioritize targets. And that's a pretty remarkable assumption.

FYI: I don't think Parky is in fact Jewish, despite his frequent claims to be Jewish. The amount of Jewish lore of which Parky continually reveals himself to be ignorant is nothing short of astounding. Most of his misstatements are commonly made by Christians who assume that Jewish lore is just like Christian lore, but ignoring anything that happened in the New Testament.

So, I have my doubts that parky is Jewish or has relatives who died in the Holocaust (well, Jewish ones anyway). Maybe he is, but he certainly hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt when he trots out his Jewish credentials.

Edited to add: Of course, if Parky didn't so often inject his alleged Jewishness into threads, there'd be no need to evaluate his claims of Jewishness in the first place.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

There are roughly 18 million jews in the world today, most of whom live in areas with easy access to the internet. The holocaust had more than ten million victims (6 million jews, 1 million+ Romani, 200,000+ disabled person and others).

To encounter someone over the internet who claims to be both jewish and have had family who perished in the Holocaust, is not "extraordinary" to me.
