Given all the information about Islamic Jihad and Koranic ideology, and actual actions as well, showing it's not just words, it's fascinating that people can believe such ideas: <Sdgla, the reason Hamas and Hezbollah exist is because they are fighting Israeli occupation of their lands. No other reason for their existence. > Mqurice

Hawk, I disagree, I would say that Hamas is an exclusively Israeli domestic problem. It originated from the Israeli confiscation of Palestinian lands. It does not become an international problem since they have done nothing to the US, whereas they do target the Israelis. They don't want to recover lands from Americans, they do want to recover Palestinian lands from the Israelis. BIG DIFFERENCE! If it truly were a problem the US forces would invade there as they have done in Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and anywhere they've declared terrorists exist. Apparently the US does not consider Hamas much of a threat to the US, they aren't sending in drones to annihilate them. The US knows as I do know, that the problem is an Israeli problem not a US problem Matter of fact the whole world with the exception of Israel and US AIPAC do not consider Hamas a terrorist organization. That's because the world knows that the issue is a land dispute not a terrorist issue. End of story.
