The Resume

Why Hamas might be annoying:

    They killed dozens of innocent people and will likely continue killing.
    They are cowards, blowing up women and children on buses rather than fighting honorably against Israeli soldiers.
    They send young children to blow themselves up.
    Their actions hurt their own people rather than help them, as each time they attack Jews, Israel attacks back, perpetuating a cycle of violence.
    They call Israel and Ariel Sharon terrorists, while seeing their own terrorism as 'freedom fighting.'
    Their outfits resemble the KKK.
    They are not concerned about collateral damage to Palestinian civilians inflicted in the course of their attacks.
    Ironically, the first three letters of their name is ham, something they are forbidden to eat.

Why Hamas might not be annoying:

    They see themselves as fighting for a just cause.
    Some argue that they must resort to terror because of Israel's occupation of their land.
    They enjoy widespread support in the Arab world.
    They are committed to their religion.
