To Accuse Hamas of Terrorism is like the Pot that called the Kettle black.... the US used the pretext of Weapons of Mass Destruction to slaughter and trash Iraq..... Hamas needs no lectures on Terrorism from the Fake Pious Hypocrites of New York

Tell this to our dear president. Does NYS have the only smart people in the US?

You clearly have no idea what the definition of terrorism is. Maybe Bush did attack Iraq based on false information. That isn't defined as terrorism. We did not target civilians, I know this having fought that war. We made it a point to avoid any civilian casualties. We often risked our own lives to avoid hurting civilians. We did not EVER terrorize them. Our targets were all legitimate military targets. (Yes, I know we made mistakes. That happens during wars). You've shown your incredible ignorance with your remarks. I will not debate with you. I was raised knowing it's dumb to converse with morons.

Don't accuse the others (Khaled in particular) of "spewing hate", because it is what you are doing all day long on this web site.

Let's just hope that it 'll stay this way. We also have a chunk of our town still missing and plaques on every firehouse and police station for our heroes of 911.

...it is Islam's doing, not Israel's or the US's. "moderate secular leadership of the palestinian Authority," you say? --there is no such a thing nor was it ever.

Well, you reap what you sow. Tough.

Not all terror attacks result in death, Khalid. Disappointed?

Democracy it is, Nabulsi. You can elect whoever you wish. But no one from outside is compelled to support your choice, only to recognize it. We recognize your choice. And we understand full well what your choice means. And we are acting accordingly. That's totally legitimate.

I'm certain you have those figures. The results reflect the Palestinian (read Arab) calculation to place innocents amongst combatants.

looking for a hate lesson? Have a good look at the palastiniens.

I hope our governor Richardson and our city mayor shows the same intestinal fortitude! You have made my day, New York!!! Now THIS is a cause for dancing in the streets...

well lets see... your definition of terrorism....By the US own figures the avoidance of civilian targets have caused 100 000 dead and maimed... the infastructure smashed by US Bombs is largely still smashed...the Iraqi people now have less eletricity and clean water than before the war....Oil production is less now than before the war.....The $US 23 Billion of Iraqi money has been used to boost the coffers of US corporations such as Haliburton ...The US has brought about the conditions required for the civil war that is now an ongoing feature of Iraq.... This is a sample of US foreign policy that is not a form of State Terror? Oh Yes... and while Im on the subject...US citizens were the biggest single contributor to the coffers of the IRA Terrorists....and the US goverment did very little about it...as they counted on the Irish Vote... who really needs a lecture on US values....Certainly not Hamas.

The Jew and American Hater Who also said he wants to teach us Jews all about Judaism ... (which he couldn't spell) who also thinks we holocaust survivors should be thanking the Red Army for our Liberation Who is a typical Scottish Storm Trooper Jew Hater If you want anyone to take you really serious - you need to stop proclaiming Marxist ideas that equal ISM movement.

US policy lends itself to co-optation by influential groups and the negative consequences mainly accrue to those unaffiliated with those group. Thus, when you single out Zionist influence over US foreign policy, you veil anti-Semitism. Why not complain about the lobbyist system of the United States more generally? Answer: because the Jewish lobbyists bother you principally.

You need not particularly associate the United States or Israel with state terror because virtually ALL states participate in some form of terror, by virtually any measure (with the potential exclusion of Costa Rica). We can discuss the premises if necessary. To your point about the IRA and Irish vote, so what? Elected representatives must respond to the needs and desires of their constituents. Thus the term "Eurabia" that gets paraded on these and other talkbalks. Europe must respond to the domestic-oriented needs of Arabs (and Turks) more frequently and with more depth than the US.

The Us has always terrorized the world...starting with japan and Germany...those people really got it good right? You are insane and see things in such a strange way. I think you have been haging out with too many terror loving arabs.

Thank God we Americans have courage and moral clarity, unlike the feckless, morally bankrupt Eurabia. This is certainly true of the majority of the American people, if not our academic and diplomatic sell-out elites who are influenced by arab money and have no morals or standards.

Do not take this post as an endorsement of Hitchings, DR, but while you may not view the Dresden firebombing (whose casualities constituted civilians, principally) or the atomic bombings in Japan as terror, you surely do accept the U.S. sponsored coups and subsequent repressions in Iran, Guatamala, and Chile as forms of terror. But that does not put the US in an exclusive group of terrorists. Rather, every state commits terror and so the US plays a role in a widely inclusive group. But then, Hitler clarified it best when he proclaimed "terror against terror!"

Wake up, if u are a real american then look around u who are influncing your life more. who is manipulating your people and make u fight wars in behalf of them. is hamas more dangrous to america than the Likudists who make your country go to the distructive war in Iraq where 2-3 americans are died everyday for no reason.have u asked urself why and what are we fighting for in Iraq. have u asked urself why do we have to consider hamas as our #1 enemy while they never attaked any american citizen???? Read the article on talk #30 and read it carefully then u can respond to me

thinking he needs to tell the world his limited knowledge he's running next for the president of - yes you guessed it right - The Asylum located on the funny farm

Yes, the US does a lot b/c of Israel, but people here have a brain and can see papers like this. The US gov't knows exactly what it needs to do to get rid of psychos like Saddam and Ahmedinejad...despite of what Israel says. Americans support Israel b/c they understand that it is facing EVIL people like the Nazis and we cannot let these people have their way. You are on the wrong side of the good vs. evil battle my friend. You are the one who needs to wake up from your nightmare.

who is wake up of the nightmare it is jews and what is the nightmare is all the land of israil and who did and want to do separation the idiot one side or the unilateral separation is the jews and we palastinian have no night mare we have a real suffering it is one side suffering or unilateral suffering we have another chice not to sffer or lead the jews suffer we like the bilateral in every thing also in suffering ...but sure we want peace which is not unilateral and we want solution which is not one side but if you chooce the suffering or war it will be to both it is like this and we have a chioce in it

give you peace Your leaders have to stop terrorism - you voted for terrorism Now don't blame others for your enormous failures for each time you were offered peace - you declined with your leaders and chose terrorism Now - we will NOT be constantly letting you go on your MAU MAU routine - but defend Jewish Lives that you try to destroy for over 70 years May be no one told you - that this is nothing new - Arabs started every single war against Israel - and still today terrorism you have lost each single war - which you only did lead to destroy the State - and now you are again losing your terrorism. You see - this isn't the way to have a State - you could have had one but you turned it down - you could have had one over 50 years ago - but you refused You failed - now you still fail
