In reply to the discussion: Hamas' brutality is unpardonable [View all]elias7
(4,229 posts)Hamas uses constant terror and bombing to force the blockade of Gaza, then blames Israel for creating a prison.
They have used words as weapons - Prior to 1964, there was no real use of the term Palestinian. Certainly the more recent appropriation of words from other contexts, chosen more for their evocative nature than for their accuracy - terms like colonization, apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing - have mobilized many young idealists into a pro-Palestinian stance
Unless people realize that they are played by Hamas, that it is and always has been about Jew hatred for them, a hatred that allows people to drive nails into women's vaginas, slice the penises off of men. Mutilating their genitals while they are alive. That behavior is inhuman and can only exist because of deep hatred. That behavior cannot be bothsided by a response to such terror, regardless how you quantify it.
