13. You got me.

There have been times on here when I protested the killing of Palestinian civilians saying that the attack is way out of proportion. Your argument though has convinced me that all the time I was backing Hamas. How,, How could I have willfully chosen that? What in me led me to think that being against the killing of Palestinian civilians out of proportion was not utterly supporting Hamas? I mean look!!! You got the proof in full audio and video!!! Some guy at a Palestinian protest has said some stupid horrible shit and he is protesting at a pro-Palestinian event? That guy without a doubt carries the thoughts and beliefs of anyone who supports the Palestinians and protest's against their treatment and it makes them supporters of Hamas. It's so obvious. Its almost like that famous Christian dude, whats his name, that says they need to kill all the liberals so of course all Christians think that. So glad you opened my eyes.
Thanks,
Eko
PS, yes its and yes the attacks against Israel that have happened and are continuing to happen are horrible. Yes Israel has a right to defend itself. But I do support the Palestinian people, have protested their treatment and do not in any way support Hamas.
