Anything after "Hamas said..." should be taken with extreme caution.
Anyway, I apologize for getting us off the main topic. The point is that there is a new military assault on the West Bank. The Israeli army targets civilians. The goal is ethnic cleansing.
Armed resistance to an occupying army is not terrorism.
I'm certainly not arguing in support of Israeli atrocities. But if you think Hamas doesn't have any folks dead in the WB, let's see your evidence for "extreme caution". Otherwise you're just poisoning the well.
But again, you can do that in your own thread if you truly feel verklempt about it. If you don't put up the thread, that will be a measure of your true concern.
Be sure to drop a link to that thread here, so that those interested can follow this sidebar in depth.
