Joseph:

"Paul Joseph Goebbels (German pronunciation: IPA: ['gœbl̩s]) (29 October 1897 – 1 May 1945) was a German politician and Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda during the National Socialist regime from 1933 to 1945. He was one of Adolf Hitler's closest associates and most devout followers. Goebbels was known for his zealous and energetic oratory, virulent anti-Semitism, and perfection of the so-called Big Lie technique of mass propaganda.
Goebbels earned a doctorate of philosophy from Heidelberg University in 1921, on the basis of a doctoral thesis on 18th century romantic drama; he then went on to work as a journalist and later a bank clerk and caller on the stock exchange. He also wrote novels and plays, but they were refused by publishers. Goebbels came into contact with the Nazi Party in 1923 during the French occupation of the Ruhr and became a member in 1924. He was appointed Gauleiter (regional party leader) of Berlin. In this position, he put his propaganda skills to full use, combating the local socialist and communist parties with the help of Nazi papers and the paramilitary SA. By 1928 he had risen in the party ranks to become one of its most prominent members.
After the Nazis seized power in 1933, he was appointed propaganda minister. One of his first acts was to order the burning of books by Jewish or anti-Nazi authors at Bebelplatz and he proceeded to gain full control of every outlet of information in Germany. Following his appointment, his attacks on German Jews became ever fiercer and culminated in the Kristallnacht in 1938, the first open and unrestrained pogrom unleashed by the Nazis.
An early and avid supporter of war, Goebbels did everything in his power to prepare the German people for a large scale military conflict. During the Second World War, he increased his power and influence through shifting alliances with other Nazi leaders. By late 1943, the war had turned into a disaster for the Axis powers, but this only spurred Goebbels to intensify the propaganda by urging the Germans to accept the idea of total war and mobilization. Goebbels remained with Hitler in Berlin to the very end, and following the Führer's suicide he served as the Third Reich's final Chancellor— albeit for one day. In his final hours Goebbels allowed his wife, Magda, to kill their six young children. Shortly after, Goebbels and his wife both committed suicide."

and his wife, Maria:

Johanna Maria Magdalena Goebbels, born Behrend (November 11, 1901 – May 1, 1945) was the wife of Nazi Germany's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. At the end of World War II, as Berlin was overrun by the Red Army, she killed their six children and then committed suicide."
"Magda was born in Berlin to 20-year-old Auguste Behrend, a servant to a family in the Bülowstrasse. Her father's identity is unknown, but he was likely an engineer, Oskar Rietschel (sometimes spelled "Ritschel"). When Magda was five, her mother sent her to stay with Rietschel in Cologne. He took her to Brussels, where she enrolled at a convent school. At ten, Magda is said[Please name specific person or group]to have been "intelligent, gifted and precocious," with a taste for Schopenhauer. She also had an early interest in Buddhism. Magda's mother Auguste later married Jewish manufacturer Richard Friedländer (who later died at the Buchenwald concentration camp), moving with him to Brussels. They all lived there until the outbreak of World War I, when Germans were forced to leave and the family spent time at a refugee camp in East Prussia."

Can't say that I despise anyone - but I do feel a certain amount of pity for those who insult others while hiding behind the anonymity of the Net, rather like the neighborhood twit who hurls taunts from behind the safety of his mother's skirt.
Such behavior isn't really despicable - just pathetic.

They don't have one and well you know it. What a silly question. Hamas uses its people as pawns in their propaganda films aired daily on Aljazeera but only the gullible believe this failed propaganda of staged victims rushing to the hospitals in convoys. Isn't ethnic cleansing what Hamas plans for Israel. Read their charter of hatred.
