Hamas, the democratically elected governing party in the Gaza Strip, has proven to be a very effective concentrator of power. Despite the privations and hardship of life in the Gaza Strip, the group (labeled a terrorist organization by the State Department and the European Union) has flourished in the eyes of public opinion. Also known as the Islamic Resistance group, Hamas has taken living conditions in Gaza from bad to absolutely squalid. The organization gains power in a systematic fashion by which power begets power, and understanding this progression is key to stopping it.
Voting Hamas was a protest vote against Fatah for many in the Gaza Strip. Of course, the wisdom of voting for an anti-Semitic, genocidal, and generally insane organization whose charter explicitly demands the destruction of Israel among other similar gems is questionable at best, but the skill of basic factual analysis sometimes runs out during extended conflicts. In any case, Hamas is currently the majority government and has deigned it proper to use their authority in the most Machiavellian possible manner. The Islamic Resistance Group (Hamas) reigns over a devastated economy and a tired citizenry. Average daily income is pegged at two dollars, unemployment is at 45%, and 99.3% of the population practices Islam. Hamas uses all three of these factors to manufacture future suicide bombers and fighters to continue its endless war of conquest against Israel. But hey, fighting the big bad Zionists and its fictional international banking conglomerate is a global pastime, particularly in Europe where anti-Semitism is on the march. Again.
Hamas has succeeded in creating dependence due to the bargain-basement per capita income in Gaza. Average citizens are forced to depend on the government for daily necessities such as fuel oil, which is affected by the crippling Israeli inhumane blockade. Yeah, that same blockade that doesn’t exist. Citizens of Gaza are essentially victims of Stockholm syndrome- despite a plunging economy, terrifying conditions, and a government that cares more about killing Israelis than aiding Gazans, public support for Hamas is doing anything but slipping. That’s a bit like the city of Boston waging war against the rest of the US, getting leveled, and then reelecting the mayor; on the other hand, with all the decriminalized marijuana floating around, that’s not so farfetched.
The unemployment rate in the States has recently risen to 7.6%. Fortunately, we’re not shooting each other yet, though a few sad cases have resorted to shooting themselves. In the Gaza Strip, the situation is even grimmer. Unemployment has risen to a mind-blowing 45%. There’s an old English proverb suggesting that an idle mind is the Devil’s workshop. One need only examine the situation in Gaza to realize the wisdom of such a statement. Desperate poverty added to restless unemployed youth is a recipe for extremism, even excluding religious influences for the sake of argument.
Religious influences, however, are enormously important to the conflict in the Middle East. The Gaza Strip is 99.3% Islamic, and the Hamas Charter is 100% Islamist. Niceties like the separation of church and state are glossed over in favor of incitement to religious hatred. The words “Jew” and “Israel” are mentioned no less than 12 and 6 times respectively. “Jihad” is mentioned 36 times. Words of seemingly little import, like “economy”, are only mentioned once. At this point in time, Gaza is brimming with poverty-stricken, unemployed, and Muslim youth. These youth are naturally desirous of a central organizing body. You guessed it; instead of using their human capital clout to create products and improve living standards in the Strip, Hamas is happy to direct their attentions outward to a common cause- the destruction of Israel and Judaism in general.
Hamas is a dangerous organization hellbent on the destruction of the basic precepts upon which Western civilization rests. However, they are powerless without human and ideological capital. The key to limiting the scope of its actions is not to behead it by killing its leadership- to do so still leaves the teeming masses of poor unemployed Muslim youth looking for a cause. Instead, Israel must work to create economic improvement within the Gaza Strip. This cannot be done without removing Hamas, which has mismanaged the economy into the ground. Decisive action must be taken (and is destined to be taken at some point) to absolutely and completely debase Hamas’ power structure. Support for Hamas will remain viable until economic improvements are made, but Hamas is the main impediment to economic improvement. The fact that the group is more interested in killing Israeli citizens than ameliorating the situation in the Strip makes this much clear. Therefore, Israel must decisively crush Hamas and immediately follow up by pumping investment capital into the Gaza Strip lest the group regenerate. To create, Israel must first devastate. The question is whether or not the international community can stomach further military action in Gaza.

Terrorist deiced to boast their rocket building “knowledge” in front of cameras for “an Algerian-born guerrilla journalist who now lives in the Gaza Strip ” and teach you some bits and pieces.
First and foremost you will need:
Once everything is ready launch it back to the same people that supplied you with all the above mentioned ingredients and don’t forget to scream ” Mickey Maus” for best effect.
And if in case Israelies won’t provide you with ingredients for your rocket start calling UN and taking out to the streets how “rude and animals” this jews are.

Update: video embedding does not work for some reason, blame the Israelis.

Well well well, pro-pally nutjobs made a mistake of attacking NYPD cops during their anti-Israel rally and got their ass handed to them. They are forgetting that New York is not a Londonistan for them, where they can attack cops and still get away with it.
NEW YORK (CNN) — At least nine protesters were arrested in a pro-Palestinian rally Sunday afternoon in New York that injured seven police officers, authorities said.

Mixx is keep coming out with new features every 3-4 months. Which in turn keeps its users occupied and interested with the overall promotion of the network.
The newest tool or widget is their real time rss feed that can be adjusted to show either 1) submissions based on keywords or 2) links pulled from a certain community based on your choice. The good part is the widget comes in 3 different colors and for those webmasters that do not like color choices there is 4th format, text only one. I really like that one can modify it to show or not vote counts and text description of the mixx submitted topic.
Another best part is being able to show submissions from a certain community only; it also allows you to control what is appearing on your website. In case if you as a webmaster want to control what to show on your website then you can create a new mixx community, submit preferred links from the internet there and then create a community based widget to show on your website.
There are of course some cons to it too:
I will keep it running for next couple of weeks to see how it works out.

Something quite strange is happening in Britain lately, jewish and pro-Israel supporters getting warning from police for “ causing provocation” or even worse, your friend gets beaten up at your door way by so called “asian youth“, his blood drips all over the floor and cops warn you to leave your house for several days untill “asians” calm down. Go figure out.
‘In front of us walked a young man, wearing a kippah. He got out of his bag an Israeli flag and was immediately taken to the side by two police officers.
‘After questioning him for about 10 minutes, he was issued a caution. After he was released we went up to talk to him – he showed us the police caution – and I kid you not – it stated that by getting out an Israeli flag he was causing provocation to the pro Palestinian demonstration’.
Or how about police searching “asian youths” for bricks and knifes but giving warning to Israel supporters not to “anger” them.
Dailymail has the whole story on this.

There are many dozens of “Must know facts about Israel” out there, and most of them of course show you “facts” of how Israel “drinks blood” of 1 billion plus arabs.
I would move fact # 22 to first place.
22. Israel has been hated, rightfully or wrongfully for a long long time and it’s not about to change any time soon. Call it a family problem, if you will.
In any case this list has pretty interesting facts that would not hurt to know.
1. Israel is just 20,700 square kilometers. This is about two times the size of Hawaii or Massachusetts or the size of New Jersey, Delaware, District of Columbia, Rhode Island and Connecticut combined. It’s also comparable in size to Slovenia or Ecuador.
2. Though twice the land mass of Massachusetts, Israel has about the same number of people – 7,000,000ish
3. About two in three Israeli Jews were born in Israel. Three/fourths of the country are Jews. One in five immigrated there from Europe or the Americas. The rest came from other parts of Asia and Africa.
4. One in six Israelis are Muslim.
5. Israel has two official languages – Hebrew and Arabic. Most Israelis can communicate in English, too.
6. Israel’s capital, Jerusalem, is at the heart of three world-wide religions – Jews, Christians and Muslims. Three out of four Israelis are Jews, one in six are Muslim and less than 2% are Christian.
7. Israel has won just seven Olympic gold medals, but representatives from the country have won 100 Paraolympic gold medals.
8. Israel’s neighbors (boundaries) are: Egypt (266 km), Gaza Strip (51 km), Jordan (238 km), Lebanon (79 km), Syria (76 km), West Bank (307 km). There is 273km of coast line. (1.62km – 1 mile)
9. Israel naturally fears sandstorms during spring and summer, droughts and from time to time – earthquakes. They don’t seem to fear much else.
