(114,116 posts)(as they see it), "the Palestinians voted Hamas in,"-- ignoring that Netanyahu chose to ignore the Palestinian Authority and others to interact/"negotiate" only with Hamas throughout his time in office...

I have no problem laying the blame where it belongs and calling for the defeat/total decimation of Hamas (and if Hezbollah is involved, them as well). But that said, the language of extermination/genocide for a people that have been exploited in the role of human shields at the hands of Hamas --especially by those who know better, is just beyond the pale. Don't believe me? Send me a PM and I will provide you the links.
