Hamas remains the only body that's ably and actively defended and protected the rights of Palestinians while since 1948 no other organisation has done much than watched and even allowed the Israelis to genocide the Palestinians.

As the invaded has the right to defend themselves, Hamas is entitled to take up any means to protect Palestinians, and, hence, Hamas is not a "terrorist" organisation as much as Israel, the US and the EU, and evangelical Christian fundamentalists want to label it.

The nons in Malaysia should take note that the ICJ criticised and warned against the genocidal language of the Israelis. We've had had the same kind of language used against the minorities by our apartheid gomen. Remember words like "bathe my keris in Chinese blood"? Remember the stabbing of kerises above the heads? Remember the threatening apartheid language?

We should pursue what South Africa did for the Palestinians and bring our fascists and racists to the ICJ and international attention.

And this is why HAMAS has to be destroyed completely from the head down.

The objective espoused only supports all of the hate the people of Palestine have held in their hearts and which hate has been fed and encouraged. Indoctrinated in hate since 1948 generations have only been able to carve out decisions and actions that that hate would allow.

On 9 August 1965 another bunch of people were expelled from a larger entity to survive in the little swamp filled island they were residing in. The hope was when they were starving they will come back crawling willing to live under submission to the larger authority.

If only they too had been led by hate, their gate would not be very much different from the Palestinians today.

What you heard from Lee Kian Yew on that day was fear and regret. And you saw grit and resolve. There was no hate. Hate was not there to lead them in their decisions and policies. Singapore is today what Palestine could have been.

So what peace would Israel be interested in talking to this so called leader anyway?
