The peace talks are a farce. They always are. It’s all part of a plan to make Israel look like the bad guy, all the while working to drive the Jewish people out of their land.

The government of US President Barack Obama is preparing to donate more than $900 million dollars to the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, according to a senior US official cited by the Associated Press.

So, from a superficial level, this looks like a good idea; we’re helping people in one of the more broken-down parts of the world.  However, considering Hamas’ history of using humanitarian aid and whatnot to further their own agenda, I’m pretty sure President “let’s sit down and talk this out” Obama just donated a huge chunk of money to the war against one of America’s most valuable allies.

Then there was Nassoul the bee. He died when the Israeli blockade of Gaza prevented him from getting clean water and hospital care (or something like that; I’m doing this solely from memory).

Next was Assud the rabbit. He died at the beginning of January when Israel bombed the Al-Aqsa TV station during the recent conflict in Gaza.

Next up for martyrdom in Hamas’ continuing agenda of brainwashing children:

Children’s TV programming in Gaza. . . ain’t nothin’ like it!

The FBI is severing its once-close ties with the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, amid mounting evidence that it has links to a support network for Hamas.

Named as an un-indicted co-conspirator after a 15 year investigation that came to a head at the Holy Land Foundation trial.  Yep, that’s a pretty good reason to sever ties.

A Muslim scholar chosen to speak at President-elect Barack Obama’s inaugural prayer service Wednesday is the leader of a group that federal prosecutors say has ties to terrorists.

Honestly, things like this make me wonder if we’ve been duped or if Obama is just that naive about the connections of these people.  Neither is good.

Also, while it’s entirely possible this is a mistake, do you really let someone with who’s ties are in question get that close to the President?

For the record, Israel did not create Hamas.

Hamas on Monday raided some 100 aid trucks that Israel had allowed into Gaza, stole their contents and sold them to the highest bidders.

So, to sum up: Israel is allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza, a territory it’s currently at war with.  The people ruling that territory are taking that FREE aid and selling it to the highest bidder.  But Israel is the unjust faction here.

Israeli forces pounded rocket-launching sites and smuggling tunnels in Gaza Saturday and planes dropped leaflets warning of an escalation in attacks, as Palestinian militants fired at least 10 more rockets at Israel.

I find it interesting that Israel catches a lot of crap for bombing civilian areas, yet nobody says anything about Hamas operatives hiding out in those areas, nor do you hear a whole lot about the pamphlet dropping.  By dropping pamphlets to warn the regular people, Israel gives up most of the element of surprise in an effort to save as many civilians as possible.  Quite the “Neighborhood Bully,” eh?
