HAMAS Declares War.

Shit

GAZA (Reuters) - Incoming Palestinian interior minister Saeed Seyam, chosen by Hamas to oversee three security services, said on Thursday he will not order the arrest of militants carrying out attacks against Israel.

"The day will never come when any Palestinian would be arrested because of his political affiliation or because of resisting the occupation," Seyam told Reuters in an interview. "The file of political detention must be closed."

Hamas, whose charter officially calls for Israel's destruction, swept to victory in a January 25 election and plans to present its cabinet line-up to a Hamas-dominated parliament for a vote next week.

The militant group has selected Hamas loyalists like Seyam to fill almost all of the 24-member cabinet after President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction and other moderate parties refused to join a coalition with Hamas.

Hamas's failure to convince rival factions to join the government could make it harder for it to rule and could cement U.S. and Israeli efforts to isolate the group.

As well as vowing not to arrest militants for carrying out attacks against Israel, Seyam said Hamas would try to coordinate militants' operations.

"Talks with the factions in the future will focus on the mechanisms, the shape and the timing (of any attacks)," he said. "But the right to defend our people and to confront the aggression is granted and is legitimate."

Seyam said he had begun talks with Palestinian security chiefs in the hope of averting fighting within the security services. A majority of the 20,000-plus security personnel, who will answer to Seyam, are Fatah members.

Seyam said maintaining law and order would be a top priority. There were several hundred murders in Gaza and the West Bank last year, according to Human Rights groups.

Seyam said his ministry would continue to coordinate day-to-day security issues, like the number of permits given to Palestinian workers, with Israeli authorities. But Seyam said he did not plan to meet Israelis himself.

"Regarding daily issues, they will not be changed, except in the way that serves the interest of our people," he said.

Israel and the United States have said they will not have any contact with Hamas members and have urged donors to cut off direct funding to the government unless it renounces violence, abides by interim peace deals and recognizes the Jewish state.

"Saeed Seyam did not come to the government to revive any security cooperation or to protect the occupation and their settlers. I came to protect our people and their fighters, to protect their trees, their properties and their capabilities," Seyam said.

"Now that we gotten those evvvalll Jews out of Gaza there's one more place we need them to leave for the sake of peace. Israel."

This will never end. This will never fucking end!

Now, if I thought Israel was half as good as their supporters said they were, they'd take out HAMAS with all the precision possible.

But this will turn bloody.

Well shit.

At any rate, here's the Hamas Covenant if anyone wants to do a little background reading. They blame the Jews for the Communist revolutions. Not to mention the Second World War. How they draw that particular line is a mystery to me.

Where there's a will, there's a way...

I'm sure they can justify it in some manner that will be acceptable to their supporters.

I'm sure they can justify it in some manner that will be acceptable to their supporters.

The only question is if they're smart enough to understand the logic of where their actions will take them. After all, when one supposedly legitimate sovereign state attacks another, it's considered an act of war, and an attacked legitimate sovereign state then has a perfectly good right to stop holding back.

Of course, anybody who blames the Jews for just about everything probably doesn't have logic as a strong point. So, probably not.

They blame the jews for WW2. Because that worked out so well for them in Germany. The country that started WW2.
I may actually have to read that piece of drivel to find out how that's supposed to work.

Well Bats first you have to believe in this massive international Jewish plot to control the world (because jews have been treated soooo well in the last couple thousand years.) Then you have to believe in a pile of tripe called Protocals of the Elders of Zion, which is pure anti-jewish proganada, by the way it's popular reading in the middle east.

After that, you can believe just about any story with a Jewish bad guy.

Here, I'll save you the trouble.

You may speak as much as you want about regional and world wars. They were behind World War I, when they were able to destroy the Islamic Caliphate, making financial gains and controlling resources. They obtained the Balfour Declaration, formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains by trading in armaments, and paved the way for the establishment of their state. It was they who instigated the replacement of the League of Nations with the United Nations and the Security Council to enable them to rule the world through them. There is no war going on anywhere, without having their finger in it.

Odd... I thought Bush was christian, not jewish... and he was the primary driver behind the GWOT, OIF and OEF

[JEAP]

Ah, but it was Rumsfeld who planed the war, and rum being the offical drink of the Royal Navy, and the British being who setup Israel.

See? Its all connected, you just need to find a long enough string.

[frigidmagi]

Rumsfield planned the war about as much as a tourist plans their next taxi drive. Which is to do say he got into the back seat of something he knew next to nothing about and started giving orders and then expected everyone else to make it work.

Hey, it works for people riding taxis, after all.
And here I thought JLU's The Question was nuts.
Thank you, Rogue 9.
