I resent that you say I side with Hamas or support their tactics. I did nothing of the sort.
You know during the civil rights movement in the 1960s, Malcolm X and many other civil rights leaders called Dr. King an "uncle tom" and said he was siding with the white man by preaching non-violence methods of resistance.
There is a difference between siding with Hamas, and thinking that the best way to defeat Hamas is through peaceful methods.
I believe fighting Hamas only makes them stronger. I think the methods you support help Hamas. If anything it is you who side with Hamas. As is evidenced by the article I just posted last night, the attacks which you supported have greatly helped Hamas. Good job!
If I were Hamas, I would hope that people like you decide future Israeli policy.
In the last 20 years, the only Israeli policy that has hurt Hamas was the signing of the Oslo Accords. Following the signing of that peace treaty, Hamas approval ratings among Palestineans dropped below 10% and for the 5 years following that treaty, there was not a single attack by Hamas on anyone. Perhaps you should take a lesson from that in deciding what policies you support, unless you do indeed support Hamas.
For someone who claims to support Israel, you sure don't act like it. You act like someone who wants Israel to be in a war with no end, and would be pleased with such a war. How many more Israelis and Palestineans have to die before you are happy? How much higher does Hamas' approval rating have to go before you are happy? If it reaches 90% would that be high enough, or do you think Israel should aim for a perfect 100%?
