The Palestinian flag has been raised for the first time at United Nations headquarters in New York.

[Hypo]

Israel is going to go nuts!

[AbrahamG]

About fucking time.  Fuck Israel.

Israel is going to go nuts!

Israel has learned not to go nuts anymore, they realized that its just a matter of time before the radicals kills each other. Back in the day Israel was worried about Iraq, little did they know they simply needed to wait, they worried about Syria and we know how much they have to worry about the radicals there now.

Right now there is massive infighting in hamas and between other terror groups operating in Gaza. Israel is worried about Iran and saudi arabia lol, today Iran said they will retaliate against saudi http://edition.cnn.com/2015/09/30/middleeast/hajj-deaths-saudi-iran-yemen/

The same people that understand that ISIS, Hezbollah, AL Queda, Islamic Jihad, Boko Haram etc. are bad, seem to think Hamas is good and Israel is bad.

About fucking time.  Fuck Israel.

Explain to me why? Is it simply the cool thing to say? Would you say the same say about the many who had their heads cut off by ISIS? I am trying to figure out how you pick and choose between what Islamic terror group you like and what terror group you don't. Obviously we have established that Hamas and Islamic Jihad is a group you support.

Hamas and Hezbollah do not equal ISIS.  Please don't conflate the two.  ISIS is horrible.  There, I said it, but they have NOTHING to do with Israel or the Palestinians.

Hamas and Hezbollah are freedom fighters/nationalists who came to exist as a resistance to Israel's aggression/occupation.

I wish the military wing of Hamas didn't resort to suicide bombings in the past, but I understand full well why they did.

Its like the believer in some god demanding the atheist to prove them wrong. You obviously support radical Islam

You have to be very narrow minded to not be able to see a difference between Hamas and jihadi terrorists

You mean Hamas and Hezballah.

would be funny if they flew the flag next to the Israeli flag and a gust of wind has the Palestinian flag cover up the Israel flag.  Jews in NYC would go ballistic.

Set it up

Man, I swear the issues between the Israel and the Middle East is ridiculous. He said, she said, is what it all comes down to. Its like two siblings fight, and both of them are between the ages of 5-10--you never get the REAL story. "He started it." "No, he started it." "You're a big poop head." "No, you're a bigger poop head."

At this point, its nearly impossible to say who is wrong and who is right.

Hezbollah are a Shia militia so have no links with the Islamic Jihadist movement which is the violent side of Sunni extremism. If anything, they are enemies of one another.
Hamas do have some Jihadist aspects but I wouldn't put them into that category either. Historically, the fight for the Palestinian cause has largely been a secular movement.

Wednesday marked a historic day for Palestine at the United Nations in New York, where the Palestinian flag was raised for the first time. Earlier this month, the U.N. General Assembly passed a motion to raise the Palestinian and Vatican flags. The United States and Israel voted against the motion, along with six other countries. Forty-five countries abstained. Earlier on Wednesday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced in his address to the U.N. General Assembly that the Palestinian Authority was no longer bound by the peace agreements known as the Oslo Accords with Israel. We speak to Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, author of many books, including “Brokers of Deceit: How the U.S. Has Undermined Peace in the Middle East.”
