I am cross-posting this because I want to read it thoroughly tomorrow, when I am wide awake and not powering down for bed, as I am right now. I also think that many of my readers will be glad of the opportunity to understand Hamas better, given the circumstances of the recent year. Thanks a lot, Azra, for publishing it here.

Thank you so very much Pauline for sharing the link to the PDF for the book he wrote whilst incarcerated in an Israeli prison hell hole. I am truly grateful. πŸ™

I was going to purchase a copy of his book but have difficulty reading them these days because of damage to my eyes.

Thank you. This was a great read, completely debunking the main stream flimflam churned. I can now see how unity is crafted within the disparity of factions, to form a coherent purpose. Fascinating and inspiring.

I've only scanned this, as I am in a huge hurry...

There's other things I want to catch up on, too, my dear pal, and I will, SOMEDAY, lol.

This is interesting! So I re-posted as a Note.

I do not pay any attention to the goings-on in the ME or the Ukraine. These areas have been at war for millennium and will be at war 1,000 years hence. It would take an entire lifetime to cut through the bull, understand the dynamics and history of these regions, and that is provided the truth could be known. I don't have the time.

Governments, cults and various factions hate each other and that encourages people to hate each other. None of these clowns of power will ever admit they could possibly be wrong and therein lies the major problem...just as it is in the west and with ALL governments. The world is controlled by complete psychos and power hungry mongrels and I want no part of any of it.

Well, okay, that's fine.

But I'm not sure you are correct in assuming that because there is much history with something, that CHANGE WILL NOT HAPPEN... You can't possibly know that. Just sayin, don't slam the door of your imagination, nor of other people's possibilities.... xo
