davidfcooperPalestinian voters, given the choice between pragmatic thieves (Fatah) and fanatical murderers (Hamas) chose the latter.
So given the mission statement of Hamas (see below),
why does anyone actually sympathize with the
Palestinians? Can someone explain this to me? I'm
baffled. This was printed in the Jerusalem Post
today:
Hamas's charter: The martyrs' oath
"Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very
serious...The Movement is but one squadron that should
be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast
Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished
and Allah's victory is realised...
The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of
Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. The Muslim
Brotherhood Movement is a universal organization which
constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern
times...
It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every
inch of Palestine, for under the wing of Islam
followers of all religions can coexist in security and
safety where their lives, possessions and rights are
concerned...
The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in
the chain of the struggle against the Zionist
invaders. It goes back to 1939, to the emergence of
the martyr Izz al-Din al Kassam and his brethren the
fighters, members of Muslim Brotherhood. It goes on to
reach out and become one with another chain that
includes the struggle of the Palestinians and Muslim
Brotherhood in the 1948 war and the Jihad operations
of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1968 and after...
The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation,
has said: 'The Day of Judgement will not come about
until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when
the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones
and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a
Jew behind me, come and kill him...'
Resisting and quelling the enemy become the individual
duty of every Muslim, male or female. A woman can go
out to fight the enemy without her husband's
permission, and so does the slave: without his
master's permission...
There is no solution for the Palestinian question
except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and
international conferences are all a waste of time and
vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better
than to consent to having their future, rights and
fate toyed with...
The day The Palestinian Liberation Organization adopts
Islam as its way of life, we will become its soldiers,
and fuel for its fire that will burn the enemies...
The Zionist invasion is a vicious invasion... It
relies greatly in its infiltration and espionage
operations on the secret organizations it gave rise
to, such as the Freemasons, The Rotary and Lions
clubs, and other sabotage groups. All these
organizations, whether secret or open, work in the
interest of Zionism and according to its
instructions...
We should not forget to remind every Muslim that when
the Jews conquered the Holy City in 1967, they stood
on the threshold of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and proclaimed
that 'Mohammed is dead, and his descendants are all
women.'
Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the
Muslim people. 'May the cowards never sleep.'"
