Dear Hamas

[Plane]

  To whatever Hamas member is willing to answer, this question.

    What does Hamas do to make Palestinians more safe and more successful?

Just what do you expect Hamas to do?

I agree they are fanatics, but they have no resources to do anything other than to shoot off rockets.

All the Gazans are lifetime prisoners who are sentenced from the day they are borne to lifetime imprisonment.

Does anyone ever hear that prisoners in North Korean gulags have done positive, feel-good things.

CU4 expects Gazans to take on a Polyanna attitude and make beautiful, creative masterpieces from their own shit or something.

It is good to see you posting again XO!

I hope you had an enjoyable time.


Hamas has actually built some civic buildings, and has financed a few educations. They do have this choice.


The value of the rockets and tunnels , the materiel and labor involved is entirely waste, they are not better off for the "strength " gained . There was a choice made to use a lot of cement , labor and cash on destruction when there was the whole time a crying need for construction .

I don't believe the Israelis are in any position to attack without provocation , but lucky for their hawks, such provocation is pretty frequent.


In those large North Korean Prison camps a lot of very useful work is done , there is not another choice given.

I agree that Hamas is a essentially a bunch of ineffective fanatics. But Gaza is still a very crowded and nasty place to spend a life. Eventually, people get violent when oppressed.  The prisoners almost never see the finer qualities of their wardens and guards.

Were I a Palestinian, I would join no movements, I would simply dedicate myself to getting the hell out. It would be hard to survive with no passport or country, but I suppose it could be done somehow. I know one can get a rather convincing passport in Miami for several hundred dollars.  It would br no use to try to use it officially, as it would lack the chips a real one does. But perhaps Lebanese, Turks or Syrians are less advanced or more easily foolred.

Yes , me too.

    In the time since 1963, or 1918, (pick your favorite beginning point) Arab residents of Palestine have been winnowed , everyone who thought their own life and the future of their children more important than Muslim possession of Al Quidds  has had the time it takes to be thinned in the population that remains. The reasonable book and evolution sets in on the remainder.

Most Christian Palestinians have already left. They were the more prosperous, and the ones with the best contacts outside the country. In Latin America they and Lebanese are owners of major businesses. In Barahona, where I go, there is a very nice, prosperous Syrian-Lebanese-Palestinians club on the main highway. Two of the biggest businesses are Shadday (electronics, hardware, printing) and Khouri (a huge cement block factory). Thery used to be known as "los Turcos" because, being from the Ottoman Empire, they carried Turkish Passports.
