Hamas threatens attacks against Israeli targets abroad

[Thunder]

To this day, Hamas has NEVER made any attacks outside of Israel, the WB, and Gaza. It has been there standing policy to limit the conflict to those lands that are involved.

But now, they believe one of their people was killed in the UAE, and they are considering for the first time, retaliating by hitting an Israeli target abroad.

This would be a dangerous and unwise step for Hamas.

Hamas is has some international support for the sole reason that they have limited their attacks to the region. If they choose to now attack Israelis and Israeli targets in say Britain, the USA, Argentina, Brazil, Russia, etc...and in the process possibly injure or kill unintended targets, they will incur the wrath of the local population and find themselves with much fewer allies than they have today.

The attack on Jews in Argentina by Iran didn't seem to bother anyone.

"He said that the breakthrough in the case came when he and his team identified with certainty the terrorist who carried out the truck bombing near the community center building in July 1994 - a Lebanese man, Ibrahim Hussein Berro. In the attack, 85 Argentines were killed and 230 were injured. Berro is believed to have come to Argentina a week or two before the attack. "

Well some Jews did, but was there a U.N. condemnation?

NEW YORK - Leading American Jewish organizations are planning a public relations campaign to urge Interpol to issue international arrest warrants for the perpetrators of a 1994 bombing attack against the Jewish community building in Buenos Aires.

Has anything happened to the perpetrators?

Are civilian Jews anywhere in the world always considered fair targets?

But it would be OK if they just killed their intended targets?

 

[Skeptic]

Of course. It's just dead Jews. No big deal, you know. It's, er, "liberation" and "resistance" and stuff.

Huh? Among who? Fundamentalists? Is that support worth having?

With what?

 

[WildCat]

Are these people fundamentalists?



That was in London btw.

Would the people in the UK turn out by the thousands to cheer Hamas if they started blowing up targets in the UK?

 

[Thunder]

But it would be OK if they just killed their intended targets?

no. that would be bad too. but if they also kill unintended targets, like non-Israelis, the local population will get even more pissed.

 

[Thunder]

Of course. It's just dead Jews. No big deal, you know.

I thought it was standard operating procedure to accuse any linkage between all Israelis and all Jews, as anti-Semitic?

does this rule not apply when the accusation is made by someone with the Cohain haplotype?

July 2006 and an article which states extensively by the Iranians that its a Zionist plot to divert attention from Zionist control of the Argentinian government, and lately, to divert attention away from Palestine.

Yet you conveniently exclude Oct. 2006 when formal charges were made, 2007 evidence was provided that implicated the MEK, arrest warrants issued and in 2009, former Iran defense minister made the interpol list.

Oops.

looks like Israel is now trying to justify the killing.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

i am slightly torn on the murdering terorrists issue.

#1. they have not been put on trial. i would prefer Israel try to capture them first. and it all else fails, kill them.

but it appears Israel is not interested in capturing them and putting them on trial. hmmm...

#2. what if they got the wrong guy? what if they end up killing the wrong guy? mistakes do happen...especially in extra-judicial killings.

#3. how does this effect Israel's relations with the nation where these killings take place? what does this do to Israel's image as a democracy?

The USA is also in a war against terrorism. And we have arrested many terrorists abroad. Perhaps Israel should take a lesson from us, and try to arrest people first..but kill when all else fails.

Yeah, I'm sure Dubai or Iran would have would have bent over backwards in arresting him and extraditing him to Israel.

#2. what if they got the wrong guy? what if they end up killing the wrong guy? mistakes do happen...especially in extra-judicial killings.

Not the case in this instance.

#3. how does this effect Israel's relations with the nation where these killings take place?

Israel has relations with Dubai?

what does this do to Israel's image as a democracy?

How is killing an enemy which is at war with you incompatible with democracy?

The USA is also in a war against terrorism. And we have arrested many terrorists abroad. Perhaps Israel should take a lesson from us, and try to arrest people first..but kill when all else fails.

Didn't they?

 

[Thunder]

Didn't they?

exactly how many Palestinian militants, be they Hamas, PLO, or PFLP, has Israel arrested and brought to trial, from overseas?

How many Al-Qaeda has the USA arrested and brought to trial, from overseas?

Israel seems to overly focus on killing first....ask questions later.

I don't know exactly, but they've arrested thousands. I don't know how many from overseas, as Hamas, Hezbollah et al tend to only travel to countries which won't extradite anyone to Israel.

How many Al-Qaeda has the USA arrested and brought to trial, from overseas?

Probably close to a dozen. I can only think of 6 or 7 off hand.

Then how did all those militants end up in Israeli jails?

And in typical fashion, you gloss over actual current events following the links you provided that contradict your fallacious position. But hey, if the Iranian government says its a 'zionist plot' we should all believe them.
