Hamas drops call for destruction of Israel from manifesto
Hamas has dropped its call for the destruction of Israel from its manifesto for the Palestinian parliamentary election in a fortnight, a move that brings the group closer to the mainstream Palestinian position of building a state within the boundaries of the occupied territories.

Ma Mooli, who are you telling to keep up, Hamas leaders? Did you miss the quote I posted by Nizar Rayyan? That quote is 6 months after Hamas dropped the call for Israels destruction from their manifesto, I guess he didn't get the memo?
Read the last line which I’ve made bold. As I said before, Hamas only wants to give aid to those who support their vision, no wonder their poll numbers went up.

UN halts aid to Gaza, cites Hamas disruption
By JOSEF FEDERMAN – 2 hours ago
JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees said Friday it has halted all aid shipments into the Gaza Strip due to interference by the ruling Hamas militant group.
The U.N. Relief and Works agency said it made the decision after Hamas personnel intercepted an aid shipment for the second time this week.
In a statement, UNRWA said 10 truckloads of flour and rice that had been delivered into Gaza on Thursday were taken away by trucks affiliated with the Hamas-run Ministry of Social Affairs. Earlier this week, Hamas police took thousands of blankets and food parcels meant for needy residents.
UNRWA said the suspension would remain in effect until the aid is returned and the agency receives credible assurances from the Hamas government that such thefts will end. There was no immediate reaction from Hamas.
UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness said the agency would continue to distribute aid from its existing supplies in Gaza, but that stocks were running low.
“There is enough aid for days, not weeks,” he said. Complicating the situation, he said the agency has not been able to import plastic bags used for food distribution, and that existing supplies will run out early next week.
In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum called UNRWA’s decision “unjustified.” He said Hamas supports UNRWA’s work but believes the agency gives some of its aid to groups attached to Hamas’ rivals.

While you are trying to read between the lines .... thousand's of people are being deprived of food aid by their own "flesh and blood". As i said before i can understand the "enemy" Israel's action to stop aid ..... they are the emeny and will try to starve them ... what is Hams's excuse .... these are their own people ... just because they don't agree with you politically .... you deprive them of food ..... so tell me again what is the difference between Hamas and Israel !!!!!
Accoriding to Hamas, they seized food aid to make sure its distributed to the population... Hamas is not known for being corrupt or unjust to their own people, that is why they were ELECTED by the palestinian people in a fair election. The belief that they are injust, is propaganda spread by zionists and their supporters, to feed and sustain people like you...
But the fact is that the Palestinians dont agree with you and neither does anyone who is able to understand the facts.
Hamas is the rightfully elected govt. They are the democratically elected representatives of the Palestinian people.
Any govt would react this way if a foreign entity were trying to undermine the elected govt by supporting its rivals.
For instance, if Pakistan needed aid, and the UN purposely supplied aid only to a rival govt faction at the expense of the elected one, then Pakistan govt would react in the same way.
At least we know that HAMAS is know and credited with being far less corrupt and far more trustworthy then other factions. After all, that is why they were elected. So we can rest assured that seized or unseized, the aid will get to those who need it most.

Democratically elected ..... does not mean anything unless you act as a democratic government ....
You defence is as pathetic as their actions ..... UN was distributing aid to EVERYONE irrespective of their political affiliation ..... Hamas had an issue with Fatah supporters getting aid (remember they are also Palestinian's) which shows their bias against their own people.
As for being corrupt ..... yes fatah has been corrupt and hence people had faith in Hamas ..... but then Hamas had never been in power before this, so it will be interesting to see what happens in the next elections.

And since when is it the job of mr "Aam bandha" to decide who is or isnt acting democratically in foreign country? What exactly constitutes a democratic govt behaving democratically? What countries that are democratic do you think are acting democratically, and which arent?
As far as I know, an undemocratic govt functioning in democracy, is still considerered a legitimate govt until they are VOTED OUT OF POWER...
You like the rest of the zionists, assume you have a right to dictate the functioning of the govt to the palestian people.
Fact is, that the reason Hamas was elected, was BECAUSE they are more trusted then Fata. Its is also a known fact, that Hamas is far less corrupt then Fata. If anyone is undemocratic, its Fata, which is why they were not elected.. FYI, thats how democracies.
If you dont like it, thats your problem..
And your argument is as lame as the zionists and their actions.
Hamas is the elected govt, and Hamas has a right to be responsible for distributing it within their own territory. They also have a right to defend against a foreign agent undermining their democratically elected govt. Whether is right or wrong is for the palestinian people to decide. But so long as Hamas is the elected govt, they have right to decide how food is distributed.
And if their is any merit to the Palestinians who voted for Hamas, then its understood that the Aid will get to those who need it...
The problem is the Zionists refusal to accept the legitimacy of Hamas... They were elected democratically, chosen by the people, and so they better learn to deal with them.
One interesting thing is that Hamas unoike FATA is working under extrordinarily difficult conditions... The blockade etc etc. They have not been allowed to function as a proper govt. If the are thrown out in elections, it will be tragic, but I doubt they will be thrown out.

Acting democraticly means acting for good of all your people .... irrespective of their political affiliation. Thought i will enlighten you on the concept!!!!
UNRWA is the agency responsible for distributing the aid ..... they are the ones who get it and are given the responsibilty of distributing it ..... if you take this aid it is called "stealing" ...... Elected governments can distribute their own aid ..... if they can smuggle weapons the surely they can get aid also, there is no need to steal it !!!!!!

Lol, then you dont know much do you... I can name you many doemocratic govts, that are considered responsible, yet they have acted in ways that are less then democratic by your definition. Its politics.
Let me enlighten you a little.
The UNRWA has to send it to be disributed, through the cooperation of the govt. Even if UNRWA is responsible for ultimately distributing aid, it has to be in coordination with the govt, and with respect to the govt.
No foreign entity, which is what UNRWA is, can function without the support of the govt in power. Whether you like it or not, even in a tragedy, there is a govt in place, and its authority has to be respected.
What the international community is doing, including the UNRWA, is bypassing the elected govt, and trying to undermine it. Its a fact that the international community is going out of its way to undermine the Hamas govt.
No RESPECTABLE govt in the world would allow a foreign entity to undermine the power of the local govt in such a way. And as you said yourself, the UNRWA was giving the aid only to Hamas rivals.. Well if your going to give aid, why only to rivals?
The weapons that were apparently smuggled were in defense... The Palestinians have as much right to defending themselves as the Israelis.
And you sound so Naive its pathetic. Israel will never allow Hamas to bring in their own aid. Grow up man.
I hope this basic lesson has enlightened you. You Zionists are so inadequate it ridiculous.
News flash for you … the “crooks” have owned to their mistake … let me have Hamas do the talking …
Al Jazeera’s Mike Kirsch, reporting from Gaza City, said: "Hamas officials are saying this whole thing is just a big misunderstanding Hmm democratic government calling it a “misundertading” …
"They are saying that the 10 trucks that were intercepted … they believed was aid coming from Hamas, from the ministry of social affairs, that was on the Israeli border, in effect that the trucks got mixed up with the UN trucks. OOps we though it was ours !!!
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Ahmed Yousef, a senior Hamas offical, said: “Our relationship with Unrwa is a strategic one. There are some mistakes that have been committed by some people.” So we screwed up … Hamas …

From you “friendly” new organisation …hope they don’t have hidden Zionists too !!!:biggthumb
If it was a mistake, then all the better…
Saves me having to post a long reply. If the previous explanation was the right one, then its still justified…
If Hamas says it made a mistake, then alls well that ends well.
Point still stands, they have every right to decide who gets what aid and how its distributed.
Your still a annoying zionist though.

That very point has been proven wrong .... they have no RIGHT to this aid, they have accepted this ...... but you don't have to ... you are not answerable to anyone .... :biggthumb
