This wasn't John Bolton making a claim. This was a Palestinian who lived it making the claim and instead of taking that on, you went after the source. And once again, you completely ignore the elephant in the room - that even Palestinians don't like hamas and know them to be the bloodthirsty thugs they are - a FACT completely ignored by many on DU. But continue to go after the source, it tells anyone watching all they need to know.

You can whine about hypocrisy all you want, I've called bibi an asshole and the settlement policy an abomination plenty of times. I have no problem calling out both sides when warranted. You don't - it's that simple.
