Hamas and other terrorist organizations By: DJ | Monday , 12 Jan '09 22:25:57 PM Reply | Forward The Hamas leadership should not be hiding behind civilian and children. This is a war as Hamas had siad and in a war Israel has the right to defend itself. I think Israel is doing the right thing. I have no sympathy whatsoever for Hamas.

Recognize Political Presence of HamasBy: Azza | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 20:02:10 PM Reply | Forward The temporary cease fire as called for by UNSC is not a permanent solution to the problem of Palestinian conflict with Israel. While all European countries and US, in particular, talks about the Israeli right of defence, they fail to recognise the right of self determination of Hamas, which is a democratically elected political outfit of Palestine. Unless they are politically accepted and its demands met, the expectation of peace in middle east is dream, which is impractical to come true.

The second world war began in 1939.The French revolution started in 1789.TheChinese revolution started in 1949. The kargil war was in 1999

Israel- the great danger to world peaceBy: Hasan Abidi | Friday , 9 Jan '09 11:54:05 AM Reply | Forward Israelis killed 758 Gazans of whom 257 are children and 56 women, and wounded 3,100 including 1,080 children and 452 women confirmed by the UN as "credible." The so called Israel supportive Indians should answer that were these children and women and civilians terrorists? Further Hamas is a group of freedom fighters like the Indian freedom fighters and no power in the world has a right to declare Hamas a terrorists group as they have been the victim of Genocide and holocaust. Israel

israel's actions are justofedBy: Siddharth Gupta | Friday , 9 Jan '09 22:38:15 PM Reply | Forward the Hamas is responsible for the scores of dead palestinians...its amazing how they expect to be allowed to shoot rockets with impunity and cry foul, the second Israel retaliates...the israelies had given sufficent warnings before launching the attack....its a pity that poor, ignorant and brain-washed women and children are paying for Hamas's actions..

hamas By: george w(ithout) bush | Friday , 9 Jan '09 21:02:58 PM Reply | Forward Gazans shud blame Hamas for strating this without any concern for their life. Did they think that by firing a few rockets they are going to get ISrael to leave? Having lost in the arab Isralei war the loser will not get what he wants, rathey they shud think of the future of their children

ProvocationBy: Vidya | Friday , 9 Jan '09 14:58:45 PM Reply | Forward If people from Gaza allow rockets to be fired into Israel, then they should be ready to accept bombs dropped from Israel. It is indeed sad that women and children and other civilians are killed, but the killers are not the Israelis, it is the Hamas. All that these self-appointed "freedom fighters" do is armed conflict - I have never heard the Hamas doing anything to get freedom for Gaza from ignorance, hunger, and poverty. Tell me, what constructive work have these terrorists done?

Provocation.. by IsrealBy: Ice | Thursday , 15 Jan '09 23:45:48 PM Reply | Forward You are so naiva... you just don't understand the nature of this conflict! Why can't people understand that palestine is fighting for their homeland!! It's a do or die for them! Isreal provoke them to do something by creating the inhuman living conditions in Gaza. Do you have any clue, how many palentinians die or were arrested during that so called "cease fire" before the war>?

Hamas is democratically elected by their services to PalestiniansBy: Azza | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 20:09:12 PM Reply | Forward Yuor message shows your ignorance about the presence, influence and the network of services provided by Hamas. I also read it through internet on several occasions. And I think that is the root cause of their democratic electoral win in Palestine, which is not recognized by US and Europeans. Why do they not recognize a democratically elected governance, when they talk about democracy in Iraq

Israel- the great danger to world peaceBy: RS | Friday , 9 Jan '09 14:07:32 PM Reply | Forward If Hamas were men enough, then they woudlnt have fired rockets hiding behind women and children. They were exploiting the moral values of the Israelis. They were left with no option ,but attack the Hamas hiding like eunuchs behind civilians. The Gazans should have had the common sense to tell the Hamas not to launch attack on Israel while being admist them. There is no point crying now....its a lesson for all the brainless terrorist sympathisers.

in your support By: moin akhtar | Friday , 9 Jan '09 13:43:38 PM Reply | Forward you rightly said that Hamas is a freedom fighter organisation who is fighting for freedom and no one has right to declare is a terrorist group.i support your statement.

Israel -a Danger?By: romesh.sharma | Friday , 9 Jan '09 13:38:43 PM Reply | Forward Mr.Hassan Abidi you are right to say what is happening in Gaza is too bad and such situation should never come up anywhere on this earth.This exaggerated action of Israel is not against innocent civilians or common Plastinians but Hamas which is not that what you presume.They aren't socalled Freedom-Fighters and I fail to understand which Indian freedom-fighters you are talking about.Indian freedom struggle/fight was/is most peaceful movement based on non-voilence idealogy.Hamas is not a group but a well equiped Army without any political agenda.It appears that they have even taken the whole Gaza community as hostage.Their guerilla warfare tactics should be in cities and civil populated areas where innocent casualities are more likely because they are used as shields.If Israelis are committing crime/sin so is being done by Hamas not by killing Israelis(with absolute random fire of rockets)but own people as well.If you mean freedom foghters operating in Indian Kashmir well you are mis-informed because these are real terrorists coming from other side and some who are misguided and allured by fanatic Islamic idealogy.Any way who so ever or which so ever person or a group is engaged in voilent acts,use of weapons,believes in destruction is kind of terrorism and no freedom or peace is worth of that human life.There are two great dangers on the earth the one is Fanaticism(which is seen in Islam today)and USAmerican policies to rule/dictate the whole world.
