Comments on: Palestinian people to be left out to dry? http://www.thatedeguy.com/archives/2006/01/palestinian-people-to-be-left-out-to-dry My commentary on Tech News, Starting a business, Ebay, and Everyday Life Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:33:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Techno-Squirrels http://www.thatedeguy.com/archives/2006/01/palestinian-people-to-be-left-out-to-dry#comment-334 Techno-Squirrels Sun, 29 Jan 2006 09:50:15 +0000 http://www.thatedeguy.com/archives/2006/01/palestinian-people-to-be-left-out-to-dry#comment-334 [...] I think the arguement at hand that Shane and Rob have been disscussing on their blogs is if Hamas can control a government without turning it into a machine of terrorism. I’m going to make an unpopular statement about this topic… Hamas is evil. It will bring nothing but more violence and hate. It cannot be argued against that Hamas has killed countless numbers of innocent civilians as well as Israeli security forces. It also cannot be argued that Hamas leaders said: “As long as we are under occupation then resistance is our right”, Said Hamas Chief Khaled Mashaal, “…Hamas would not recognize Israel and indicated attacks on Israeli civilians would continue as long as Israel continued to target Palestinian civilians” [...] [...] I think the arguement at hand that Shane and Rob have been disscussing on their blogs is if Hamas can control a government without turning it into a machine of terrorism.

And is used as an example for why we can't screw this up. I would agree that if they continue advocating fo rhte killing of jews, we can't have much to do with them. I sincerly hope that they do show some meaningful reforms as I think that no matter what, if we actually decide to not recognize this government, it will be detrimental to the US's image in the Arab nations. As for Hitler, you are right, he was elected in accordance to the laws of that country. However, how long did we recognize that government and how far did the german army get before we finally stepped in? Rob, the military coup thing wasn’t even mine.

Nobody is talking about overthrowing the new Palestinian government. At this point all anyone has talked about is not dealing with a government whose sole purpose is going to be driving the Jews into the ocean. They have elected their leaders. Great. But they've also elected terrorists, and that's not so great. So the consequences are going to be these: If they continue advocating for the killing of Jews, we aren't going to have much in the way of diplomatic relations with them and we may even cut off some of the aid they receive. If they attack Israel we're going to stand behind our friends there. On the other hand, if Hamas shows meaningful reforms (doubtful to this observer, but still) I'm sure we'll reciprocate with the proper diplomatic measures. Adolf Hitler, when he first came to power as the Chancelor of Germany, was elected in accordance to the laws of that country. I see this election of Hamas on par with that, though at a lesser scale.
