37. I've been avoiding responding to these topics for awhile, as there is no way to reason with some.

For a number, Palestinian = Hamas. Even when you explain why that isn't true, you get ignored or called an antisemite. When I was watching the local news covering the protest at UCLA where Jewish supporters were initiating the violence, they interviewed one person and labeled all Palestinians as Hamas supporters. The thought there was a middle ground was beyond comprehension.

In my mind that extreme thinking is no different than the thinking of Hamas. And they both feed off each others hate. The thought the majority just wants to make a living and survive never crosses their mind, they are too invested in hate. And that includes some people here on DU sadly. And Bibi bears a lot of responsibility for that, it was always us vs. them mentality. He was pissed off that Rabin would be remembered as a martyr which would make it harder for him to dismantle what he did. And yet, we have those who defend, albeit, indirectly, that psychopath. I wouldn't be surprised I get some heat for this post.
