Betrayed your true colors with this one, I'm afraid.
Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist organisation and this man was at the helm of terrorism against Israeli civilians for a decade and more.
You can't just dismiss off-hand the fact that Israel is trying (and succeeding) to target and neutralize terrorism that is a genuine and current threat to it's civilians.
I hate it when people get into this bullshit semantic discussion of what is a terrorist and what is not.
Wikipedia said:The European Union,[8][9] the United States,[10] Canada, Israel and Japan classify Hamas as a terrorist organization,[11][12] while the Arab nations, as well as some other countries including Russia[13] and Turkey,[14] do not.
So a bunch of Western countries consider Hamas a terrorist organization. Big surprise. It doesn't hide the fact that Israel is killing probably 10x the civilians that Hamas is. That's not to justify what Hamas is doing, but in my eyes Israel is a much worse offender of human rights and a much larger agent of death and destruction than Hamas is. Whether or not they're considered a "terrorist organization" doesn't change jack.
I really can't understand this, it's quite unreal. People on here actually believe that Israel is involved in some kind of slaughter of palestinians, or ethnic cleansing or something. Only problem is they seem to have failed on a massive scale.
Listen here, Israel can shut off the electricity it provides to Gaza and then go in and raze all hell till Hamas never dreams of firing a rocket at a populated civilian area again. They don't.
So they could be doing much worse, but they're not. That's a defense of Israel? They're doing plenty to disrupt people's lives and livelihoods already.
