Israel To Shut Down Charity Organization; 640 Orphans SOL?
msnbc.msn.com — To Nayfa Shatat, the widowed mother of 11, Hebron's biggest Islamic charity is a lifeline: It schools her daughters and helps feed her family. To Israel, the Islamic Charitable Association is a front for the Islamic militant group Hamas, promoting the movement's violent ideology in its schools and funding extremist activity against Israel.

- cageybee, on 05/01/2008, -8/+14i've been condemning them forever. those ***** zionists are a stain on our religion. i can't wait until the world will be free from zionists. those evil zionists shall burn in hell FOREVER.
- Zecchetti, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2According to the zionists, you are a "self-hating Jew"
- yellowcakewalk, on 05/01/2008, -10/+12The poisonous acts of the zionists really makes peaceful jewish people uncomfortable, and makes our relationships with our jewish friends more complicated.
- Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -6/+7my girlfriend is jewish, and she doesn't like people to know about it. (don't tell anyone!!!)
- robbinzo, on 05/01/2008, -6/+10You need to think in terms of these people being evil who just happen to be Jewish. The whole Jews vs Arabs thing only helps to solidify the bigotry on both sides. Divide and conquer.
The people at the very top are all occultists anyway. - wpi97, on 05/02/2008, -3/+6"Israel is evil."

- cageybee, on 05/01/2008, -5/+17what a bunch of low life zionist rats. how do they sleep at night?
- markvand, on 05/01/2008, -4/+17Just goes to show that in the post 9/11 world terrorism is a legitimate excuse for governments to do whatever they want.
- Dynamis, on 05/01/2008, -11/+7Just in the spirit of actually putting the truth out there -- It's not an orphanage, it's a boarding school that apparently Israel has a claim that they are teaching violence. And it's a shame and a crime to all the people who need the help of charitable social services when a terrorist organization like Hamas is allowed to live parasitically off of them.
- neocognitism, on 05/01/2008, -8/+8HAMAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISLAMIC ORPHANAGE YOU ***** *****.
- Dynamis, on 05/01/2008, -9/+6Yes neocognitism, apparently they do. The reason behind any Israeli action within Gaza is most likely due to Hamas. Israel is not merely trying to punish innocents for no reason as you'd like everyone to believe.
- neocognitism, on 05/01/2008, -6/+7Independent source?
Proof? - Dynamis, on 05/01/2008, -7/+7FTA:
"To Israel, the Islamic Charitable Association is a front for the Islamic militant group Hamas, promoting the movement's violent ideology in its schools and funding extremist activity against Israel."
"The army said the workshop was used to raise money for militants."
"It's part of an intensified crackdown on Hamas by Israel and the West Bank government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas violently seized control of the Gaza Strip from Abbas' forces last June, and neither Israel nor Abbas want to see a repeat in the West Bank."
""Hamas invests a lot into the education of children ... to teach them extremism ... and recruit them to terror acts. The system is clear-cut, it's meant to finance that," said Maj. Avital Leibowich, an army spokesman."- neocognitism, on 05/01/2008, -6/+6The IOF is not a suitable source, especially as a sole source. The IOF has lied on many occasions.
This topic has been covered many times over the last six weeks, with multiple stories here on digg, and INDEPENDENT Palestinians have said the organization has no connection whatsoever.
You don't know the background of this story. I suggest looking at the background before repeating your inaccurate statements.
I would like you to show your anti-Arab racism by saying all Palestinians are not reliable independent sources.
I also think that if you are here to advance the premise that we need to just always trust the IOF, that you move there. Should we also just trust everything the Pentagon and military says? They have never lied? Please don't be such a moron. - Dynamis, on 05/01/2008, -5/+5"The IOF is not a suitable source, especially as a sole source. The IOF has lied on many occasions."
Are you just typing to listen to sound of your keystrokes or are you going to back up your claims?
"You don't know the background of this story. I suggest looking at the background before repeating your inaccurate statements."
I thought the source of this submission did a decent job of bringing me up to speed, but feel free to point me in the right direction.
"I would like you to show your anti-Arab racism by saying all Palestinians are not reliable independent sources."
They didn't interview "all" of the people of Gaza. I don't believe that the people interviewed for this article were lying, but it is a fact that it would do none of them any good to admit that Hamas had anything to do with this organization -- hopefully we'll conclusively find out as more information comes out on this story. I actually hope that the Gazan lawyers are successful in getting the supreme court of Israel to hear this case. There should be plenty of details forthcoming if that happens.
"I also think that if you are here to advance the premise that we need to just always trust the IOF, that you move there. Should we also just trust everything the Pentagon and military says? They have never lied? Please don't be such a moron."
No, we should not trust everything anyone says. We need to see some facts. - neocognitism, on 05/02/2008, -6/+5No, YOU need to get some facts. We're quite aware of what this situation has been for almost two months. Do some ***** research before becoming a mouthpiece for the IOF's war crimes.
Do a google search on Israel Orphanage, start from there, troll. - Dynamis, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6I took your advice and I'm a little shocked to admit that what you've said is at least partially true, and as far as closing orphanages goes I don't think it's the right thing for Israel to do. Although the charitable organization as a whole might be some sort of front group for Hamas and in the case that Hamas is benefiting from it's profits or from donations I can see Israel trying to put an end to that, but as far as closing orphanages goes I don't see how that benefits anyone.
- neocognitism, on 05/02/2008, -3/+2The truth about what's going on over there is never on the surface, you have to look for it.
I take back what I said about you. I apologize if I was a jerk, but with the career Ziontologists and Christian Zionists I encounter (and were digging you up until you agreed with me), any degree of quarter one shows is manipulated and can bog one down in circular b.s. discussions.
peace.

- Zecchetti, on 05/02/2008, -2/+4Death to Zionism
- Zecchetti, on 05/02/2008, -2/+4Israel. After slaughering hundreds of Palestinians just this year along including innocent men, women, children, BABIES in their murderous airstrikes in Gaza. Their theft of Palestinian land and building of illegal settlements. The demolition of hundreds of Palestinian homes many a time with people still inside them. The illegal checkpoints that make life not worth living which has been the cause of many pregnant women having to deliver their babies AT THE CHECKPOINT because the tyrant oppressots won't let them through on their own land.
And now this???? The world needs to wake up to this new international menace that is Zionism. It is perhaps the worst menace the world had faced. More dangerous than communism. More dangerous than "islamic terror". Its a racist cancer that is striving to take over the middle east and establish itself as a global superpower. And who knows what would happen after that?? - SteelChicken, on 05/02/2008, -3/+3you keep on posting your propaganda Hamas loving diggers. Or is digg loving Hamas?
Stop firing rockets and then hiding behind children and then crying "oppression" when they come for you.
