And what about the several others? There is 1 military factions that don't intend to give up, they are not a part of the goverment but they are so big that Hamas can not stop them. As far as i know there was a problem during the truce.
And for the note: They ARE not the army.
And there are several others to.

The main difference between Hamas and Fatah is that Fatah is willing to share Judea with Israel in return for Independence from it. Hamas does NOT want to share, and wants to see the State of Israel anhialated from the map. Completely.

As for the Middle East, each state/organization is either with Fatah (most countries like Egypt, Jordan) or Hamas (Hezbollah, Iran, Al Qaeda, Syria).

Hamas 'implicitly accepts Israel'

Palestinian militant group Hamas has agreed to a document backing a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel, officials say.

BBC : June 2006

Is this not true?

Hamash was elected because of Israel. Not much more. They had trade blockades and Israel broke the last truce. So?

Hamash CAN accept it, the underlieing militant groups that have a major popularity does not.

As for a religion, at least religious zealots believe that if they fight for it, they'll go to heaven, so it makes some sense, even though I don't agree with them.
ROFL.
I mean just lol.
Only rookies think that, it sounds nice at first you know.
"Respectable" ones (and I do mean, even if we find them disgraceful for what they're fighting for) are way above that and genuinely believe in it, even if they have to suffer -- they may be aggressive or bastards, but they are not primitively selfish (i.e only for pleasures; since you also seem to make Heaven an image of pleasure when it is completely the opposite ('happiness' or 'peace' are like on the opposite side to pleasure), after all according to most stories, the Devil promises instant pleasure).

You have no idea about the emotions that trigger stuff like ideology, patriotism, fanaticism, etc... do you? They are all relatively similar, so no, nothing to do with "going to Heaven". If it is, it's second on the list, or probably even third.

I'm saying this cause I have some ideologies myself
(also, remember "fighting for freedom" or "sacrificing for freedom" -- clearly no instant benefit, one might argue even if it is an 'emotional' benefit at all)

Ugh..; Ideology <=> patriotism

Patriots are usually the types who 'feel one with their country' and are proud of the 'grand nation of Flanders!' or something. Usually, there's no ideology behind it, except perhaps a nation's history, though I sometimes like to think I'm more familiar with mine, than the average patriot of (Belgium, for example).

It's usually nothing more but a tool for populists. Though, it did form the state of Italy...
I personally have no such sentiments whatsoever. Though, I can respect it from someone else to a certain point. A,d if people can reap emotional benefits, that's good for them

That was an enumeration, not an equal sign
They are pretty similar in the case that people "fight for" them.
Patriotism usually includes not just an ideology (the nation's) but more than that though.

Dude, you wouldn't even recognise a joke when it would dance naked infront of you, wearing Xerox's Helmet That part wasn't really serious, and it was off-topic. I'm only objective about the topic - the rest doesn't have to be like that

First of all,
@All
Things have calmed down a bit since Angelito issued his warning, please don't drag the thread back into a flame war state without pointless accusations and such. If you have something to say to certain member please do it over HCM.

P.S. Great, now you made me sound like a moderator.

@Mvass, Death and some others
I can honestly say that I haven't read any of your last posts concerning patriotism and whatnot. I'm not going to decide what's considered on topic here and what not, but maybe you yourselves should consider making a new thread about it and concentrate on it.


Now to the matters at hand...

@Minion
Sure, let's see:

Quote:
• Using powerful shells in civilian areas which the army knew would cause large numbers of innocent casualties;

That depends on how powerful they are. If they are powerful enough to bring down a big building, then I think it's ok to use them when a certain building is recognized as a weapons' storage, military HQ etc. This is especially because the people living in the building were notified before the assault.
However, if the shells are powerful enough to ruin a street, then I'm not so sure it's ok, simply because I can't think of a good use for it.
Quote:
• Using banned weapons such as phosphorus bombs;

I'm wholeheartedly against it. Using phosphorus bombs is too destructive and unnecessary, that's why they're banned. There are however several problems concerning that issue. Israel haven't admitted using banned weapons. From what I hear there are 3 reasons for it:
1. One of the proofs that Israel used those bombs are burns that could've been caused by phosphorus bombs. There is a big difference between could have been and have been.
2. Another proof is the sight of the bombs exploding in the air. However, there are different types of phosphorus bombs, some of them burn the dangerous substance high in the air before it reaches the ground and therefore is harmless/less harmful.
3. (And this goes well with 2) From what I gather, international laws do not ban the usage of phosphorus bombs, but phosphorus bombs of certain types and concentrations that are extremely harmful.

Anyway, I am against banned weapons and the Israeli army is conducting some inquiries to find out whether someone on our side has actually used any of them without permission.
Quote:
• Holding Palestinian families as human shields;

I'm totally against it, although I don't really understand what you mean by that.
Quote:
• Attacking medical facilities, including the killing of 12 ambulance men in marked vehicles;

This is again a slightly complicated matter. Of course that killing medics and destroying medical equipment is wrong. On the other hand, there have been sightings of HAMAS people dressed as ambulance men, for example, there was a case in which an ambulance came to a place with lots of injured (some of them severely), but instead of taking with them those who desperately require medical attention, they loaded some more or less healthy men and drove of, thus relocating some of the HAMAS forces. So in case of mobile ambulances it can be hard to understand whether their neutral or hostile.

As for hospitals, I personally think that hospitals should be a neutral ground. Meaning that even if there are hostiles inside it should not be attacked. However, if those hostiles attack from the hospital (or nearby) they are turning it into a part of a battlefield and then retaliation is acceptable. (speaking in general, not some specific cases here)
Quote:
• Killing large numbers of police who had no military role.

That's a bit of a tough call. I think that it's acceptable, because policemen are still armed people under the hostile government control who can be used in warfare.

There are religious schools in your country? O.o

Thats forbidden in Sweden
In Sweden school or the society as whole are not supposed to have any ties to religion.

I did go to "Churchs Children Hour" or something like that when I was like 4 years old though but it was not so dangerous, it was like "Once upon a time there was a man called Jesus. Jesus was a witch and could walk on water. So he got killed. But he used his magic to become alive again. Then he died again. The end.".
