,,,a person condemned killing by both Hamas and Israel I would still disagree with equivocating the actions of both sides, because I think the actions and stated goals of Hamas are far worse. BUT< I would at least acknowledge that as being equally anti war.

But when you issue "NO" condemnation of what Hamas did and only criticize Israel's response that is not being anti war. That is being anti Israel and a defender of terrorists. She is showing me her heart and it's ugly.

Maya Angelou said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Omar is showing me who she is and I believe it.
