In the thread on the Gaza flotilla some are trying to give an example of Israel being no better than Egypt or of some other country. I have never said Israel was better than any other country. Today Haaretz published a short news article showing Israel is no better than Hamas either. What strange, new world that has such people in it.
Israel took 65 civilians hostage. Arrest without charges is hostage taking. 65 for 1 with 56 still held. After his release, Abu Tir was prohibited from entering Jerusalem. Israel still holds 56 civilians hostage without charges. But there were charges, belonging to an illegal organization. Illegal under Zionist law. Therefore Hamas does need to take one further step, declare the IDF an illegal organization and charge Shalit with being a member. Then the comparison will be perfect except for the 65 to 1 ratio of course. Hamas won control of the Palestinian parliament in 2006 elections and then seized the Gaza Strip in 2007, leading to rival governments in the West Bank and Gaza. There you have it. Israel doing the same as but to a greater extent than Hamas. Almost everything. Hamas does not whine about it as does Israel. For the record Shalit was kidnapped and offered in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinians in prison including all who are being held without charges. If I remember correctly the record holder for held without charges is 17 years and counting but I might be mistaken. In any event a prisoner exchange was offered by Hamas. In Israel's attempt to calm things and bring about a peaceful resolution it took more prisoners without charges, i.e. hostages. Unvarnished Haaretz Jerusalem Post The origin of the Yahweh Cult |

Wonder how the US would react if a Senator or Congressman came out supporting Al-Qaeda? As long as neither side is slinging Nukes I don't care what they do with their silly Religious war. And that is what it really boils down to to me. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

And that is what it really boils down to to me. These people do not live in Israel, do not participate in the Israeli political process, are not members of any political party in Israel and are not even Israeli citizens. What you wonder about has no relationship to the facts of this case. Unvarnished Haaretz Jerusalem Post The origin of the Yahweh Cult |
