Hamas 'Foiled Carter Assassination Plot'

Great show of in depth thinking, Paleness. Is that as deep as you ever go? Man, I'd love to play you in a game of chess if you think only one level deep like that all the time. No, scratch that. You wouldn't be a challenge -- what a monumental waste of time . . . and your commentary here adds nothing worthy to the discussion. Why do you even open your mouth?

psycada - If the Democrat Party of the US took the army and killed or locked up all the Republicans, would you still call them legit? Hamas won a majority in the government, but tried absolute rule. When that failed, they made a Coup. That is hardly 'legit'.

I would seriously doubt this story. Could it be that Hamas was detonating their own bombs, making a nice show, pretending it was a plot and showing the world that they are nice guys now? Why should we believe a group that has been hell bent on killing innocent civilians for decades now is suddenly the good guy?

Abdul - twisting to make your point shows dishonesty (again) Up until September 2000, when the Arab Palestinians from the [West Bank and Gaza] territories began their second violent "Intifada" and unleashed their non-stop Jew-killing, suicide bombing spree, they had been allowed to work inside Israel Proper and receive similar pay and benefits as did their Jewish counterparts. They were also allowed to attend schools and universities (which Israel built for them!). Palestinians were also given opportunities to run many of their own affairs. None of this was true for South African blacks. Today the Palestinians exercise complete self-rule in Gaza.Israeli Muslims, Christians, Druse and many other minority ethnic groups enjoy exactly the same civil and political rights as Jews. They can sit in the Knesset, say what they like, go where they like, pray where they like, go into business, be elected to office and serve in the Cabinet. The only exception is that Israeli Arabs do not serve in the army. There is nothing more hypercritical than a single one of the 64 Arab/Islamic/Muslim theocracies and brutal dictatorships pronouncing judgment on issues relating to "discrimination" since not a single one among them treats their minorities in the same tolerant way as does Israel. Talk about lack of deep thought.
