On Hamas

If Arab nationalists had a reasonable argument against the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, which they did not, any such argument has since been invalidated by the subsequently self proclaimed Palestinians crimes and terrorism. They are like the Noldor in Tolkein's Silmarillion who have fallen under the Prophecy of The North and the Doom of Mandos.

The crimes of Hamas and its supporters exceed those of the Nazis in their depravity. It proved hard but possible after the Holocaust for the German people to rejoin the community of nations. While the poisons of Totalitarianism and Racism that National Socialism fostered can never be completely eradicated, and indeed preceded that movement, sincere efforts to repudiate them merit acknowledgement. Also in its 12 year rule the NSDAP did not sink roots deep enough to eliminate opposition and the legacy of an alternative culture that could be restored and built upon.

Among the Arabs who identify as Palestinian the situation is far worse, and indeed it is worse than it was some 55 years ago when the KGB sponsored the creation of a Palestinian identity, separate from Jordanian Egyptian Syrian or Lebanese, as a permanant source of conflict. Not just Israel but no nation, Jewish Christian Secular or indeed even Muslim, can exist at peace with a nation that rejects every concept of tolerance restraint law decency or humanity. If the seeds of an alternative set of values still exist among the Palestinians of Gaza, and in the West Bank where polls indicate that if the Authority under Abbas were to allow an election then Hamas would win, and in the camps controlled by Hezbollah in Lebanon, then only through the comprehensive defeat of Hamas could a path open for the repudiation of the culture of death. Only then could a possible future for the descendants of the Arabs who migrated to lands between the river and the sea in the 19th and 20th centuries based on peace decency and respect be found for them as citizens of whatever country they may come to.
