The most annoying thing about the false accusations against Israel that they are committing genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced migrations

Whoa! Hold on a second mister. No one here has said anything about genocide, ethnic cleansing or even forced migration. Where do you think you are? If you want to accuse me of saying those things I’ll ban you in a NY minute. I said Israel created conditions so intolerable that tens of thousands, if not more Palestinians have abandoned the Territories. That’s it. Now, if you want to twist what I said into what you claimed above you’re gonna do that somehwere else & not here. So clarify what you meant very clearly or you’re toast.

this number is still small compared to the hundreds of thousands of Jews who have emigrated from Israel directly or indirectly because of the war of terror the Arabs have and are waging against Israel.

Your pro-Israel propaganda skills are faltering. Do you really mean to say that Qassams falling on Sderot have causd hundreds of Israelis to emigrate? And even if we include acts of terror like suicide bombings which have been basically nil for quite some time do you really expect a reasonable person to conclude that these acts of terror have had an equivalent impact on Israeli society as the hundreds of thousands of daily insults big & small perpetrated by the IDF against Palestinians in the Territories.

Were the shoe on the other foot and it was Palestinians imprisoning Israeli Jews in Jerusalem, setting up 500 roadblocks to prevent travel bet. Jerusalem, Tel Aviv & other cities, turning off Israeli electric power, committing assassinations with impunity that cause tremendous collateral civilian damage, invading Israeli territory at will to flush out Israeli “militants,” preventing Israeli women from reaching hospitals to give birth or preventing terminally ill Israeli patients from getting medical care, etc. etc. I assure you the effect on Israeli emigration would be many, many times as great as the current level.

Israelis emigrate because they are looking for a better life elsewhere. Palestinians emigrate because they have NO life. There is a difference though to propagandists like you there is no distinction.

I see my name has been linked to this story at both your websites. I’ll just point out that I totally disagree with your interpertations though I did find the websites using google.

Oh heaven forfend that anyone interpret my thanks to you as implying that you agree with our interpretation of these translations. I didn’t mean that. I only meant to thank you for helping with the research which I do appreciate.

Amir’s comment says more about himself and his prejudicial views of Hamas than about anyone else. Hamas’ statements are very clear to me. The interpertations Amir added are merely his interpertation.

[Hamas] would, if they could, bring about a Jewish emmigration from Israel.

Hmmm, Israel would if it could (and has) brought about Palestinian emigration from the territories. I don’t know whether Hamas would bring about emigration and Amir cannot prove a theoretical. But I certainly know what Israel has done, and transparently. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have emigrated from the Territories because of the miserable conditions that Israel deliberately creates, encouraging mass misery. This is no more justified than it would be if Hamas theoretically in some future time were to do the same.

Hamas’s goals are clear from their statements

No, their goals are clear to you from yr own interpretation of them and their future intentions. But yr interpretation or prediction of Hamas’ actions is different than their stated principles. You can’t substitute your own propaganda for Hamas’ actual words though you sure can try.

…Shame on both of you…for dedicating so much time and effort into trying to deceive your readers about Hamas’ true nature rather than helping to expose them for what they truly are.

I’m always entertained by Amir’s finger-wagging & his assumption that I should be cheerleading for his anti-Palestinian propganda. As if my goal in life should be to advance his agenda. As for deceiving my readers…I guess my OTHER readers will just have to be a judge of that. Fortunately, I don’t rest my reputation on what Amir thinks of me.

Anyone ELSE reading this blog would understand clearly my disagreements with Hamas. But my goal is not to expose the perfidy of Hamas or campaign against the group as a legitimate interlocutor for the Palestinians. That’s Amir’s goal in life. My goal is to observe the conflict & try to keep people honest on both sides of the argument.
