Hamas is a social organization, providing aid to those who are in need. Supplying money to the poor to pay for electricity and to buy food, pay for a doctor, or surgery, even for school. This is the popular myth, and it is in part accurate. It is more propaganda than it is truth, and more fictional than reality, yet some people accept it, believe it, and act upon the fictional purpose of Hamas as a saving grace for the destitute and hungry, the powerless and poor. It is purely political, even as it operates a killing arm to force capitulation by the subjugated masses. It cries out for freedom from Israeli control yet oppresses the masses. If they were 'free' of Israeli 'control' Hamas would be unable to rationalize its purpose.
Hamas has sworn to destroy Israel, it lives to destroy Israel. It exists, the reason d'etre is to destroy Israel. They wake up each day and dream and think, believe, and act in a manner they believe will end the existence of Israel. On Thursday, June 3, four kassam rockets were launched into Israel. This is ongoing. It matters not how many casualties, but for luck and the general stupidity of hamas, many could have been killed.
How do you make a rocket? Not difficult. Neither is a launcher all that difficult to make. All you need is some pvc piping. The same type of piping used for ... water / sewage. Israel placed a blockade around Gaza to prevent material that would be used to rebuild Hamas' ability to attack Israel and or provide cover for Hamas killers and kidnappers.
Israel allows in aid and has tried allowing in piping - you know, piping for the sewage that is building up - all 55 million metric meters that flows into the Mediterranean. Here is the simple fact - Israel would and will, and has allowed in the piping for that sewage system, BUT hamas send out stupid fools to dig it up, to use the piping for rocket launchers. If you are Israel, what would you do?
a) continue sending piping to repair and replace the stolen piping used for rocket launchers
b) send rocket launchers to make unnecessary the ripping out of the piping, thereby allowing the sewage to be diverted and saving the Mediterranean.
c) ignore the facts and open the gates, fences, sea lanes and let the chips fall where they will.
d) tell Hamas to stop digging up the piping or you will prevent further pipes from being sent in to be used in the same form, and not for the purpose they were sent into Gaza.
I don't know. I suppose if you are Roseanne Barr or Helen Thomas, you would choose E, stop occupying Palestinian lands and go home and when all the Jews are gone, they will stop digging up the pipes.
It is a choice for Hamas - dig up the pipes, pollute the land, allow people to get sick and die, or stop digging up the pipes for rocket launchers. Simple enough. Where is their passion, dedication, and commitment? With the people or with death?
So Roseanne would say - it most certainly is with the people (this is my opinion of her position, and I am reasonably confident if it was a direct question, and required a direct answer she would come down on this side)
They cannot build sewage systems and prevent 55 million metric meters of sewage flow into the Mediterranean because the Israelis limit the amount of construction materials into Gaza.
Hamas calls on the world to help them, and it did - billions in aid money was promised. Under any normal situation, such as Haiti, billions in aid and concrete would flow in, and will be used to rebuild Haiti. The people of Haiti will receive water and food, clothing, supplies - all free of charge, without restriction or hindrance. This is what hamas should aspire to be, and to do - but instead, they use the aid to bribe the people, to intimidate and threaten, to coerce and control. They use piping to save the environment and the community from illness and disease to send bombs and missiles into Israel, with the resulting strikes by Israel against Gaza resulting in deaths, used by Hamas as further proof they need to resist which leads to more flotillas and more rockets and more deaths and more weapons and more ...
According to Imam Fethullah Gulen, a highly influential Turkish religious figure - the Turkish-led aid flotilla that clashed with Israeli forces was defying authority” for failing to seek permission from Israel before attempting to deliver aid and said that assigning blame in the matter is best left to the United Nations. He also said he only recently heard of the IHH and that “it is not easy to say if they are politicized or not.” Meaning - they were recently created, maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe about the time someone decided to put the flotilla together.
The Israeli navy warned the convoy by radio not to approach Gaza, told the captains of the boats they were approaching a blockaded area and asked them to either proceed to the Israeli port of Ashdod or turn back. Activists on board responded that they would continue toward their destination.
Sidebar: According to the fringe left and the Arab moderates - Israeli forces are a) killers without conscience, b) killers of babies and the innocent who do not feel anything but blood lst when they kill. c) instinctively murderous and seek to kill any innocent they see, or d) all of the above. Answer: D. So, if you believe it is D why the heck do you arrogantly and defiantly sale through a blockade if you believe the blockaders are killers of babies and would sink your ship with babies and families on it without a second thought. Why. Why. Why do you put the children at risk, why do you put innocent lives at risk if you believe Israel kills children wantonly. Why. Answer: because you care even less about children and the innocent and would like to provoke the killing of your children in order to attain a political win. You would like Israel to sink your ship with families and children on board, and if you are sunk by the Israeli navy, you will ensure your children die one way or another to use as propaganda while you wail next to their lifeless bodies.
Expel hamas, renounce violence and murder, stop using rockets to fire into Israel and rebuild your city. Stop with the violence. Blow up the tunnels used not to bring in necessities, but to smuggle in weapons, terrorists, and food you will sell to the Palestinians, supplies you will sell, clothing you will sell, aid you will sell - and then you will use the money to buy more weapons to bring death upon the Palestinian people.
When you stop the evil in your midst, I would bet the average workers per capita earnings for a year, in Gaza, that Israel will cease and desist with its defensive measures as they would be unneeded.
What the US should not do is to send fools like Congressman Brian Baird who urged that the US break the blockade in the same way "we did when we circumvented the Berlin Blockade. We would accomplish this using roll-on/off ships supplying the needed material for Palestinians to rebuild their society."
foolish fools
