109. stop being terrorists

And stop using much needed funds to take care of the Palestinian people and spending it on tunnels to get into Israel to bomb it. And stop using the Palestinian people particularly women and children as human shields. And most importantly, toss out their charter that declares their purpose is for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of all Jews. But that would defeat the entire PURPOSE of Hamas.

Hamas was formed in 1987 purposely as a terrorist organization. The founder's own son admits it - they are terrorists and proud of it. And what does it say about the Palestinian people that they ELECTED this terrorist organization to govern the Palestinians in Gaza?

For more decades than most of us have even been alive various terrorist organizations with the same NAZI mindset concerning Jews and Israel as Hamas have been bombing the shit out of Israel specifically targeting civilians... buses, pubs, schools, malls, restaurants - the more crowded with civilians especially women and children the more they WANT to and DO blow them up. Until 9/11 what we knew of terrorism was what Israel has endured from the moment it was formed. The very word "terrorism" MEANT bus loads of Israeli citizens and school children and pub goers, and mall shoppers, etc.

Hamas does not WANT peace. You want peace in Gaza? Then quit siding with Hamas and the people that elected this terrorist organization who doesn't want peace but wants the destruction of Israel and the extermination of all Jews and uses it's own citizens as human shields and the funds needed to take care of the Palestinian people for those people rather than in constructing tunnels into Israel to continue to bomb this country they want to destroy and all Jews dead.

What do we want Hamas to DO??? God almighty.
