I make no judgement on the decision to outlaw but do find it odd that the west appears to be quite happy to fund terrorist organisations when it suits it. Bin Laden was a case in point.Outlawing an organisation with a long history of causing death and destruction and suffering for innocent people, is not telling people how to think
That must seem so strange what with Israel having there 5th? National election in 2 years.When did they last hold an election??
This, they are effectively making the elected government of the Palestinian people illegal it sets a horrible precedent.

Talking of which how is former Prime Minister Netanyahu’s corruption, bribery & fraud trial going?
Massive simplification much…..They made themselves government for life and suspended elections after being elected.
So putin and xi are in the same category
That last sentence is just jaw dropping, I’m in no way a Hamas supporter, the situation is a total and utter mess but if you really believe that statement there is no hope for you. In which note I will bow out if this thread it really isn’t worth the effort of trying to present a little balance.Hamas spend the money their receive on arms to use against the Israeli people, how many new Schools or Hospitals have they funded in the almost two decades since their last "free and fair" election?
The only ones oppressing the Palestinians in 2021 is Hamas.
didn't Hamas kinda hijack the Palestinian peopleDespite being the majority elected by the Palestinian people ....

Who else read the title as 'Hermes Outlawed'. I was thinking I know they're reputation isn't great but that's a bit strong.![]()
OOOOpppppp where have you gone?
The attacker was identified as a 42-year-old Palestinian man from East Jerusalem.
A spokesman for Hamas confirmed the man - named in Palestinian and Israeli media as Fadi Abu Shkhaydam - was a member of the group's political wing.

The American government certainly had millions of dollars funnelled through the Pakistani intelligence services to the Mujahideen. What pot of Federal funding that money came from is anyone’s guess.Wait, do people still think Bin Laden was funded by the CIA? xD
