Doesn't help much if you become one.
Oooh, good rebuttal. Calling somebody with whom you disagree a Nazi is SO original

I still can't believe this shit....A freakin terrorist group at the head of a country.
Where are the Americans in this? Oh yeah....there's no oil there.....

Palestine isnt a county... I think that's the main problem.

The nazis were dealt a crushing and humiliating defeat by the USA in WWII.
Not that the Soviet Union had nothing to do with it...

I don't know how far I would go to call western society "civilized"
Incredible.
You have NO idea how good we have it here in North America.
I suppose that helps explain why you have such utter disrespect for the institutions that made us #1. (Such as the institution of "getting a job.")
You insinuate that our society is "uncivilized." You, dear sir, wouldn't last a day in the third world - especially with that smart mouth.

"Having it good" doesn't make us civilized, it makes us rich.
Western values + western prosperity = Civilization

Which glorious institutions would those be? The diamond trade that helps to fuel civil wars in Africa? Is it the depleted uranium weapons that will pollute Iraq for generations? Maybe it's the wars we start so that we can continue to fill our ginormous trucks with gluttonous amounts of gasoline...
Waaaah... all you ever do is bitch and moan.
Lighten up a little, will ya? Your problems are trivial compared to what most people on this planet have to endure. That, more than anything else, separates us from the other 5 billion brutes.
P.S. Get a job.

Well, I know reality isn't something you have much in common with, so I have to bring it up once in a while.

Nuff said.

Lighten up about the suffering our excesses cause? Not on your life, and not on mine.
Waaaaah... more whining from the unemployed smart mouthed kid who think's he's going to save the world.
Give it a rest, eh?

No, the Russians didn't do anything in World War II. They had a socialist paradise, remember?
Lay off the bong and read some WWII history.

It's hard to tell at times, but I think he was being sarcastic since there has never been a socialist utopia, nor will there likely ever be one.

Forgive me for getting back to the original post for a second, but there's just as much a chance of Hamas realizing 'now is your moment; do something' as there is of a civil war.
If Hamas was smart (I know...big if!) they'd turn to Israel right now and say 'we'll give you a 2 year ceasefire this minute and give you 'conditional' recognition (hey, it's a tough sell for their hardcore members and they know it...easy steps, people) if you stop building west bank settlements today, immediately, this very second.' That would put the cat amongst the pigeons, steal the initiative from the Israeli military and secure their foreign aide all in one shot.
Hamas has the opportunity to follow Sinn Fein's example and use 'the bullet and the ballot box' to change their future.
