Hamas excon 05/12/06

    Hello Laydownforislamers:

    Do you think your tax dollars should go to feed Hamas led hungry Palestinians? If yes, do you think any of that money will be spent on weapons that will be used on Israel, our ally? Or maybe even, God forbid, us?

    Against the backdrop of Ahmadinejad's letter this week and his constant threats against the US and its allies in recent weeks and months, it is clear that Iran perceives itself as being in a state of active war against the US. It is also a fact that Hamas is now an official client of Tehran.

    Indeed, even before Hamas subordinated itself to Tehran, the movement was in a declared state of war against America. On December 17, 2001, Hamas published a joint declaration with the Islamic Jihad in which it declared, "Americans are the enemies of the Palestinian people," and Americans "are a target for future attacks."

    The Bush administration just pledged $10 million in medical assistance to Hamas. Every penny of ours that is transferred in "direct aid" to the Palestinians is money that will prevent Hamas from failing.

    Do I feel for starving children around the world? Sure, but I feel less about the children of our enemy. You?

    excon

      >>But, some of those Palestinian children, who may be saved from starvation with MY tax dollars, are gonna grow up, strap on a bomb, and go blow up Jews. AND, Since you and I are the enemy too, maybe one of these kids will show up in your neck of the woods.<<

      Yep, understood. And some won't. Are you suggesting a pre-emptive (hunger) strike would be ok? Are you suggesting taking out people who aren't really a threat (like Saddam) is the right thing to do? Just curious.

      Sissypants, I wonder how many people know that it was not our country that trained bin laden. The US funded native Afghans in their fight against Russia, not 'Arab Afghans' such as the virulently anti-American bin Laden.
