Opinion of Hamas

[Silent Hunter]

An organisation that is not only evil, but counter-productive to the people they claim they're trying to help.

The latest round of rocket attacks were retaliation for an Israeli airstrike meant directly to provoke them--combined with the fact that we now know that the kidnapping was a lone wolf attack and that the Netanyahu regime knew from the beginning that the kids were dead, declaring Hamas more terroristic than Israel is difficult.

I would point out that Hamas actually welcomed the killings.

There is an argument to be made from Hamas's perspective that because most Israelis are either settlers or direct descendants of settlers that have been accomplices in pushing out Arabs, that they are not civilians in the same way that citizens of other countries are.  I do not agree with this viewpoint for the record, but it is their viewpoint.

Don't forget about IDF conscription.
