A Conversation

F.Q. says: look mohammed, what it all boils down to is, can you honestly claim that the situation has improved after militant groups like hamas became more active? has anything positive come to be regarding these military groups? they're not helping the problem at all, and i think they need to stop making shit worse.

reply to the above: True it is not going too well.. but is it really because Hamas took over? and lets remember here that they didn't do it by force initially, they were democratically elected by the people of Palestine.
secondly, this is the only way to bring peace to the region. When will Israel ever stop attacking countries around it? Do you really think that if we decide to stop resisting for our basic rights that Israel will let us as arab states prosper and become great nations? in 1981 Israel bombed Iraqi nuclear facilities even though Iraq back then was an ally of the US in its war against Iran. The Palestinian authority has been negotiating with the Zionists for the past 30 years, from Oslo to camp david to finally placing a siege on Yasser Arafat and poisoning him.. did the Palestinians get anything? no.. is Mohmoud Abbas getting anywhere? no.. he failed to even remove one checkpoint in the west bank let alone solve the bigger problems between the two sides.

That is why Hamas is on the right track. Hizbullah accomplished to free the South of Lebanon by resisting not by meeting and talking with the Israelis. Israel was forced out of Gaza in the 2005 by resistance not by sitting and talking with the Israelis.. The whole concept of resistance is what Arab dictators are trying to fight, if the arab masses start to resist then Arab regimes will fall one after the other.
This is what I dont understand.. we praise those who resisted in order for their people to gain their simplest rights, people like Ghandi, Che Guivera, Fiedel Castro, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the Vietnamese, the Irish, the French and Russians, we look up to these people study them and buy their biographies, but when a Palestinian decides to resist in any form, when a Lebanese resists they are ridiculed by people like you (no offense) saying they are jeopardizing the entire nation when in reality they are the only ones that have prioritized the interest of their nation above their own well being.

Someone who has sacrificed his life in order for his people and the future generations to live better lives then he/she had should have more respect than what you are showing here, They should be respected because they are the ones who are martyred in the cause of their religion and their nations.
