You know, that quote could almost be a parody of a Fox News retard knowing nothing about the topic he's talking about whatsoever. I suggest you'd add another layer of ignorance in there, and you're completely there. (Maybe, I don't know, 'the Iran-sponsored Muslim Brotherhood')

Your continueing mix-up of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood is embarassing to read.

Your sources for Hamas being armed by the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Didn't you know? Iraq's Baath Party was the Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda.

You fool! Saddam was a puppet of the Iranian regime. Oh wait,..., Iran must be ruled by Al Qaeda then,... It all makes sense now!

Lets just hope the Gazans have grown up in the last couple of years.  They only fired 127 rockets randomly at civilians last year, (killing 1) with the blockade in full effect which is the lowest year for random Gaza rocket attacks on civilians since 2002.

I wouldn't expect them to, given the conditions they were forced to live in for four years. And I'm not lionizing the Palestinians, but their anger is certainly understandable. And, no, I don't at all believe they brought it all on themselves.

So you're saying we should expect more terrorism because of this move?

He's saying we should expect more violence because of the existence of the blockade in the first place.

I'm not sure if you knew this, but Gaddafi was "Israel's enemy", not the rebels now fighting against him (presumably that's what you're referring to; it's very difficult for me to follow whatever line of 'reason' you're using). Frankly, I think we could get a better deal selling a few tanks to the Palestinians to even up the score. I'm not saying we should, but it beats sticking our necks out for a country that only exists because of the United Nations.

I know I'm bumping something from a couple of pages ago but I was reading through this thread and I laughed when I got to this point because it's just so far from the truth. Israel exists because it won a war for its independence, not because of any UN resolution that isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Well strictly speaking it exists because its founders thought it might be a good idea to just give the international community the finger. Not meaning to sound judgmental here.

Also I'm feeling pretty sure that in the past 5 pages jmfcst has still failed to establish a concincing cause for MB involvement in arms deliveries to Hamas. He most certainly will have spewed a lot of retarded Bible speak. (Really, having actually read some of his Bibe posts it seems those are perhaps his lowest quality ones, as if he actually doesn't get even relatively simple layers of the text. I'm not speaking 'X is actually a metaphor' here, I'm talking just basically not getting the sense of the text when it should be read as anything but the most literal interpretation possible of the words.)

Oh and Danny, Israel's real enemy is its own public opinion. If Israel isn't able to make major concessions and come to a durable form of peace with its neighbours, the place is headed for another Shoah the moment its neighbours grow too strong and the US grows too weak, which will happen at a certain point.
