Mr. Smith

How many people on this forum support freeing Palestine.
and why?

I wholeheartedly support freeing Palestine from Hamas. Other than that, no.

Agreed. Not much more to say than that for me.

Freeing palestine from whom?

Caltex

Israeli occupation obviously.

Palestinians and Israeli's cannot coexist peacefully, and thus a separate nation is necessary for the Palestinians if the violence is to ever cease. I support the concept of a "free" Palestine, but would not support it in the military or economic sense, but nor do I support Israel in those ways. I would much prefer it if foreign nations got out of the way though, and let the two people's battle it out themselves.

Whether people like it or not Hamas was elected by the Palestinian People to represent them. The failure to deal with the elected representatives of the Palestinian People is a diplomatic failure of the nth magnitude. We may not like Hamas, their actions or policies, but we have to respect the will of the Palestinian People and deal with them.

You know, hitler was elected DEMOCRATICALLY as well, or does that make no difference to you? It's all the same to you, uh? All the more reason to vote for Hamas? (This is a genuine question, not sarcasm).

The fact that the Palestinians voted for Hamas brings me to the following conclusions:

1. The majority of the Palestinians is extreme fundamentalists, the likes of 9/11 perpetrators, who can never be trusted to make peace with.

2. The majority of the Palestinians doesn't have the foggiest idea as to how to vote for a leader who'll take them to good places.

Look where Hamas has gotten them: They have no money, no food, no job, no future. The Palestinian economy is in shambles. Is this what courageous peace makers envisioned for them? Is this what the Palestinians want for themselves? To me it sounds like a very stupid, bad, bad, bad decision, not just because I advocate peace, but because Hamas doesn't have any real agenda that will enable the Palestinians to have a better future.
