It is amazing to me, that there is so much confusion over who the terrorists are. Hamas is a terrorist organization that condones and facilitates suicide bombings and will kill every Jew on the planet if they have the chance.
Israel is an energetic democracy with a vibrant press. Israel is a free country that abides by the rule of law. By contrast, if a writer were to go to Gaza or Iran, for instance, and start writing bad words, he might wind up on the news, dead.
Israel allows Christians and Arab Muslims to worship freely, while Hamas wants to see us all at the bottom of the sea. Hamas, supported by Iran, is clear about their goals: they want to wipe out Israel completely, utterly, with finality. But it’s not just Israel that Hamas wants to kill; they want to kill all Jews everywhere. Complete genocide

Ask yourself …how many international laws has israel broken since 1948?

Ask yourself… how many mosques and churches has israel turned into bars and clubs? what are the restrictions israel imposes preventing Palestinian Muslims and Christians from reaching their mosques and churches?

Ask yourself … If israel was really seeking ‘peace’ then why did this ‘vibrant democratic’ state continue to build illegal settlements and expand -illegally?

How democratic: “We believe with absolute certitude that now, with the White House and Senate in our hands along with the Pentagon and the New York Times, the lives (of Arabs) do not count as much as our own. Their blood does not count as much as our blood. We believe with absolute certitude that now, when we have AIPAC (the Israeli lobby) and (Edgar) Bronfman and the Anti-Defamation League, we truly have the right to tell 400,000 people that in eight hours they must flee from their homes. And that we have the right to rain bombs on their villages and towns and populated areas. That we have the right to kill without any guilt.”
- Israeli journalist Ari Shavit, reprinted from Ha’aretz in the New York Times, May 27, 1996.

ignorance is pretty ugly… so I suggest you take a look at some legitimate reliable sources…maybe then you wouldn’t be so ignorant when it comes to what israel really is.
Here are a few…but there is plenty more out there:

Thanks for sharing this Iman. A point that bizarrley never struck me before and has never been explictly highlighted until now is how the israelis evict settlers as opposed to how they evict palestinians in say gaza. It riot police and horses for israelis and guns for the palestinians… 24 hrs to evacuate and then their house gets demolished.

CBS contrasted this very well I think.

Q: is CBS widely watched in the US?

loolt, hi. it’s been such a long time since I last saw you here. hope all is well!

60 Minutes is widely watched here. In fact, Prime-time viewer-ship numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research for Jan. 19-25 shows that CBS’ 60 Minutes is #8 with 12.3 million viewers (source). This report was aired on Jan 25. If you also look through out the different months’ ratings, you’ll see that 60 Minutes ranks high in most tuned into programs. So the truth is reaching a wide range of people, and that is promising as there is a hint of hope for people like ‘James”…

James Redford, Hamas does not want to kill every Jew on the planet. Palestinians never aimed at killing Jews because they were Jews, their only goal was to free their lands that were occupied. It’s a right that every nation has.

Meanwhile, Israel keeps killing innocent Palestinian civilians, the vast majority of whom are not Hamas members.

I hope I have cleared your confusion about who the real terrorists are.
