And by the way, "much like Iraq" we see where that is going. It is Bush's illegal war and his reasons change when the previous one is found to be a lie. Bad comparison, if you are making a point.

Yes Israel is occupying Gaza and West Bank. As it stands they have been wanting to dump the land back into the hands of Arab control for 30+ years. Their occupation is still going on because of on going military missions to stop terrorism after two infitida's. I don't think Iraq is a bad comparison to the situation in Israel, Europe has been trying to pass sanctions and penalties onto Israel for a great many years because of the "illegal occupation", the US just vetoes them all down.
I think you need to do some more dirt digging Pan, Israel is not the lone gunman when it comes to the plight of the Palestinians. The Palestinians have been exploited by Jordan and Syria for nearly 40 years now. The fact that Palestinians can become Israeli citizens and have full rights there, or the fact that if they stay in the West Bank under Jordan and get no rights speaks volumes.

I find it humorous that many of you in this thread are calling the Hamas leader "monster" and "animal". You are exhibiting the manipulation of propaganda. Usually before a nation can begin a military campaign or semi-slaughter, the enemy has to be cast as evil, a monster, or in Bush-I's "He's [Saddam] a little Hitler."

You're right, he was a nice person and a decent human being.... Or you can live in reality and realize that this guy was an asshat and had it coming.
