Although the Palestinian people have the moral and legitimate right to oppose and fight against the brutal Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, the methods that Hamas uses is totally illegitimate and could be called 'Crimes against Humanity'. These methods are bombs planted in busy Israeli areas with the purpose of killing as many civilians as possible. Other methods are in the use of suicide bombers who target civilian on buses and shopping centres.
These methods are evil and cowardly, and they are also counter-productive and stupid, and display a lack of intelligent strategy within the leadership of Hamas. Through these bombings the media can afford to ignore Israeli atrocities and instead concentrate on Palestinian atrocities. This plays into the hands of the Israeli propaganda machine who want to dehumanise the Palestinians as nothing more than terrorists.
Hamas also follows a charter which basically calls for the wiping out of Israel. Idealogically Hamas is close to Nazism in its' attitude to the Jews.
The principles of the Hamas are stated in their Covenant or Charter, given in full below. Following are highlights.
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."
"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "
"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."
"After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying."
