1. It is truly wonderful when you listen to someone who seems to be able to

tell what you think is the truth. He is credible.

Can't find part 3. Anyone know the title or have a link?

4. It's interesting how few these simple factual pieces are available in U.S. media.

You won't find them on mainstream television. You won't even find them (facts of Hamas' creation and history) on CNN, MSNBC, etc...

6. January 29, 2006 - Hamas leader sets conditions for truce

"A leader of Hamas, the militant group that last week became the controlling force in Palestinian politics, laid out a series of conditions Sunday that he said could lead to years of co-existence alongside Israel.

The conditions included Israel's retreating to its pre-1967 borders and releasing Palestinian prisoners..."

7. Eric Margolis has done an excellent job of describing Hamas. Israel has been vicious.

They have been double crossers. They broke the ceasefire, and they assassinated Hamas public servants.

8. Eric makes it clear

without coming right out and saying it, Israel does not want a truce, they want to continue what they have been doing all along.

10. because it is working for them

Israel has no incentive to do anything differently as long as they have funds coming from the US in a steady stream and tons of US politicians standing up and defending their abominable actions
