Hamas' top political leader is killed in Iran in strike that risks
triggering all-out regional war

Hamas' top political leader was killed Wednesday by a predawn
airstrike in the Iranian capital, Iran and the militant group said,
blaming Israel for a shock assassination that risked escalating into
an all-out regional war. Iran's supreme leader vowed revenge against
Israel.
...
...
Israel had pledged to kill Ismail Haniyeh and other Hamas leaders over
the group's Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that sparked the war in
Gaza. The strike came just after Haniyeh had attended the inauguration
of Iran's new president in Tehran -- and hours after Israel targeted a
top commander in Iran's ally Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital,
Beirut.

your not an f-ing idiot, so why post idiot things to get under peoples
skin. Your the kind of person that makes, "The Encounter: The
Twilight Zone" or "Citizen X" a reality. Do you want to
create a "Mexican Joker" ? Please stop posting this terrible
ideology and wake up. Remember "Time is a just an illusion and
life is just a dream".

Zionist Israel since the whole Ramadan thing started by Israeli's
throwing stuff at people visiting the area ( if Police did there job
instead of harassing Muslim people ), to the retaliation by Gaza (
which barely killed nobody 2-10 because it was stopped by the
"Iron-dome" anti-missile system ), and the 9/11 of an
apartment building with over 200 people via two hellfire rockets
launched by the IDF. Then just for fun they 9/11 a media building (
actually informed them ). Then they told people to flee to a location
and bombed innocent people.

There is no HAMAS. HAMAS is a representation. Everybody is HAMAS if
you disagree with the Jim-Crow, segregation, and ghetto creation that
Israel has been pulling before COVID. Zionist Israel are literally the
same boat as white-supremacists covering peoples faces in mud, during
a race protests in the USA. Even in 2016 when they literally deported
black ( African ) people, Jewish or not from there land. These
white-racist people are from Europe. They might be Jews, but that is
only in history, they do not believe in god and ride the WWII
propaganda, expecting people to believing in there
"public-opinion". That being said the IDF and Hamas are the
same nutjobs. Point being all of the current waves of deaths was
caused by Israel. One day all the nations in the area are going to
pounce on Israel, dead-or-alive, they are going to take that entire
place apart. In fact I keep posting this video, but please watch it.
Because this exactly where this whole Palestine/Israel crap is leading
to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGcAbI-4_io

Zionist Israel are literally the same Gemany-Nazi's from days ago.
Killing the head of any head of household that financially supports
them would not be a bad thing. "Cut off the heads of the
generals". But the problem these are not generals, these are
racist-cowards. They dance around with the N-word, they parade lie to
everybody who is not Jewish, and could careless because they still
have that mentality "Like Hindu Cast system". They could not
care if there own kind dies. That is how insane these people are. The
J-ue-ish women are being held-hostage by there husbands and fathers,
and giving the opportunity would replace them with strong, tall, dark
skinned, black men, who actually have something worthwhile downstairs.


United States was formed with the idea to escape the money-lenders,
and here we are today with a crippled families unable to financially
combat these racist cowards. Zionist must be stopped by whatever means necessary. Nobody will forget, nobody will be tricked. I will tell you
this, if it was me, I would hunt down every rubbish sucking the US
dollar down the drain. Blazes even white-supremacists in the United
States make more sense, because they are Christians.

Christianity is just a rejected form of Judaism. Islam is also
Judaism. If Stephen was not stoned to death by the council, and they
had accepted Christians as as sect of Judaism, then even Islam would
have become more Je-wish. We all are children of god. We all have the
right to enter a better world then this. This is just a cocoon. A
dream, a sleep. Wake up. They are not the way. God wants us to do
good. Not hide behind the flesh world. If the world becomes black,
then so be it. Racist makes the world held back. Racists are going to
condemn humanity and prevent us from reaching the stars. Racism is the
dumbest thing ever. If Christians was not denied right to pilgrimage
to Jerusalem, then the Crusades would have never happen. If the
Catholic Church did not start making up new rules ( like "Animal
Farm" ) then Martin Luther would have been unimportant and the
Pope would have still matter. They still make up things.

When it comes to income, "THEY" have manipulated Romanov,
Fall of France, the False English crown, and meaningless civil-war in
the United States. Simple matters, and simple ideas all abusing
people. The blind-sided-ness of it all.

1. It is racism, genocide, and literally one step away from the Nazi's
burning bodies.
2. They forced people out of there homes and placed them into
ghettos.
3. They told people to flee to an area and bombed innocent humans.
4. They are in USA draining our economy. There women are being held
hostage ( J U E's )
5. Most of the money is being sent from USA to these illegal
foundations in Zionist Israel.
6. All this was not started by HAMAS, Gazians, Palestines, or anybody representing the Arabic or Islam.
7. These people are garbage human-beings. The reasoning is that they
live in fear and make us live in fear.
8. Hate begot hate, how long before somebody cuts off the heads of
these godless men and women ( sadly ).
9. The next big thing is going to be another COVID ( Like "The
Last Man on Earth" ) to happen. There is no god when you live
with people who are completely religious nutjobs. The mask is off
Zionists including many who hide themselves as J-U-E are resident of
evil that is happening.

10. Something needs to be done. These people are being mislead, and is
even worst then dictators or Hitler
11. If any win it is for the European ( white ) world in terms of
colonization, imperialism ( forced cultural-ism )
no different then Vietnam, Philippines, Hong Kong, Hawaii, and any
other place the Whites have touched.

12. Believe in god or not but the world was made for all. They do not
want people around, they want you to become violent. If any god then
it is a god that wants to test you, by placing these godless people
who deny themselves the
Messiah.

What are Hamas motives?
The group's charter calls for establishing an Islamic Palestinian
state in place of Israel and rejects all agreements made between the
PLO and Israel.

What is the goal of the Hamas Charter?
In 1988, the group published the HAMAS charter, defining itself as a
chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood and stating its primary objective
was to annihilate Israel and replace it with a Palestinian Islamic
state.

What does the Quran say about Israel?
However, the Qur'an specifies that the Land of Israel is the homeland
of the Jewish people, that God Himself gave that Land to them as
heritage and ordered them to live therein.

The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement was issued on August
18, 1988. The Islamic Resistance Movement, also known as the HAMAS, is
an extremist fundamentalist Islamic organization operating in the
territories under Israeli control. Its Covenant is a comprehensive
manifesto comprised of 36 separate articles, all of which promote the
basic HAMAS goal of destroying the State of Israel through Jihad
(Islamic Holy War). https://embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx

Why did America call it football?

The exact etymology of the word "football" is slightly
unclear, but many historians say the term dates back to the
late Middle Ages, when it was used to refer to any sport that
was played on foot, as opposed to sports played on horseback.
Over centuries, it came to be associated with different
kicking games played throughout the U.K., the rules of which
were eventually combined and standardized to form football (or
soccer, as it became known in the U.S.) in the mid-19th
century.

Around the same time, rugby -- or rugby football -- began
developing in and around England. Though similar to soccer in
that it required a team to advance a ball toward its
opponents' goal, it differed in that players could pick up the
ball and run it down the field.

Over the next decades, American universities began playing
their own early forms of football using rules derived from
both rugby (rugby football) and association football (the
sport that came to be known as soccer). And by the turn of the
century, American games of football had evolved and adopted so
many new rules that they barely resembled U.K. football.

By that time, however, the name "football" had already taken a
foothold in America, and it was here to stay, according to the
Pro Football Hall of Fame.

This is the truth! I cannot see how people can make any other
interpretation of events? Maybe they are all watching some kind of Hamas
news network.

Also note that most, if not all, death figures are from hamas controlled organizations, so they can safely be halved or ignored.

Politically, one side wants to report higher numbers, while the other
side lower numbers. Realistically, a true body count is not possible.

The Health Ministry reports on body counts.


DOES HAMAS CONTROL THE FIGURES?

While Hamas has run Gaza since 2007, the enclave's Health Ministry
also answers to the overall Palestinian Authority ministry in Ramallah
in the West Bank.

Gaza's Hamas-run government has paid the salaries of all those hired
in public departments since 2007, including in the Health Ministry.
The Palestinian Authority still pays the salaries of those hired
before then.

group! ;) Jokes aside, I happen to think that football is the most boring
sport ever invented, so I actively do not follow anything related to it.

I think the only three sports in which I have a mild interest would be, in order of interest, boxing, ice hockey and chess.

It's illogical as they don't use their feet to kick the ball.
However, on Usenet the main newsgroup for discussing 'real'
football is called rec.sport.soccer ... so some things you
just have to live with! ;-)

I love hockey [NHL] and chess... I don't see you in
rec.sport.hockey... unfortunately it's a semi-dead newsgroup
that could do with some contributions from people. There was a
Canadian dude that tried to liven it up recently with some
discussions but he wasn't getting much response. Maybe in
October it'll pick up again? See you there!

Let's Go Rangers! :-)

So? That does not change my view in any way! =)

In US, we have: Football

a. Football
b. Baseball

Don't you have softball? And can't you play hardball?

Descriptive terms have been used, but soccer does not describe the
game.

A lexicographer could come up with a descriptive word:-)

I believe the original meaning has been twisted. Being hit in the
head with a "softball" today will not be a soft experience.


"The earliest known softball game was played in Chicago, Illinois, on Thanksgiving Day, 1887. It took place at the Farragut Boat Club at a
gathering to hear the outcome of the Yale University and Harvard
University football game.[2] When the score was announced and bets
were settled, a Yale alumnus threw a boxing glove at a Harvard
supporter. The Harvard fan grabbed a stick and swung at the rolled up
glove.[3] George Hancock, a reporter there, called out "Play ball!"
and the game began, with the boxing glove tightened into a ball, a
broom handle serving as a bat. This first contest ended with a score
of 41-40.[4] The ball, being soft, was fielded barehanded.[5][6]"

Well, in terms of ice hockey, the reason is my _mild_ interest. I'm a fair weather fan so only watch when sweden manages to reach at least quarter
finals in some international competition with NHL players in it.

In terms of chess, I _am_ watching rec.games.chess.misc and there are some discussions there I had profitably from time to time, so welcome to join
the party! ;)

I could accept kickball over soccer. My preference as of right now is football>kickball>soccer! ;)

HAMAS started this war last October, Israel will finish it!

Gaza did not start any war.


1. During Ramadan people was being harassed by passer-byers, soon the
police came and also humiliated people as well. People was not
taking it, and it became a big problem. Shots fired ( from police ).

2. Random people in Gaza launched a bunch of Mortor rockets. Which was
quickly disabled by the IDF
Iron-Dome system.

3. IDF launched two hellfire rockets ( same used by USSR / Russia ).
They pulled of a 9/11 and killed over two hundred innocent people
inside an apartment building.
A. More targets of more buildings occur. Even the news building was
bombed. ( of course when they bombed the NEWS building they told them
before hand.

Time-passed,

4. Then the October thing happen. ( again not a big deal at all ), but
this was the retalliation for that 9/11 bombing of an apartment
building occupied by innocent people.

5. Yes people was kidnapped but who said to hold a party right by a
border? That is stupid.

6. Yes people ( Gazans men who are armed ) did cause choas in Israel,
but to no extent it was a war in terms "of a war". It was an
retaliation for those two hundred people.

7. IDF literally are bombing, and killing innocent people. Hospitals,
Schools, and any place of safety was targeted. Innocent people who
have nothing to do with anything. Probably over 100,000 or even
300,000 are dead for nothing.

............

This is not a war it is genocide, racism, and discrimination at it's
finest.
