[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be good, too, if humanity looked at Hamas and said, how did that ever happen?[/quote]
Hamas in the  direct consequence and child of the Israel terrorist Policies on the Palestinian civilians. What is ironic is that the Palestinian group that would begin calling itself Hamas in 1987 was founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a half-blind cleric partially paralyzed by a childhood sports accident. In the 1970s, Yassin’s interest was to turn Palestinians toward the Koran and to find their way through it, rather than through the PLO ( Yasser Arafat's party) . Israel saw an opportunity to battle the PLO from within its own Palestinian ranks by openly supporting Yassin and his followers. [b]( Can you believe that? Israel was the 1st supporter of Hamas)[/b]

Israel’s assumption that Yassin could be a viable alternative to Yasser Arafat was the same sort of miscalculation the United States committed in Iran in the 1970s, when the CIA cultivated radical Islamist groups there should the regime of the Shah of Iran falter or fall. In 1979, the regime did fall. The CIA had misread the forces of political Islam in Iran. It had also misread its reach: Political Islam wasn’t a fad. It was the future.

Lessons not learned, the United States, under the guidance of the Reagan administration, committed an equally catastrophic miscalculation in Afghanistan in the 1980s, when the CIA armed and supported Arab and Afghan mujahideen in their war against Soviet occupiers. Osama bin Laden was the Arab mujahideen’s leaders.

Like I said before, history loves to repeat itself~[/quote]
