re: #459 sagehen

We expect more from Israel because we always demand more of Jews. Because they’re Jews.

And it’s not just “the existence” of Hamas… it’s that every time the Palestinians go to the ballot box they overwhelmingly select Hamas. That’s their chosen representatives, their chosen leadership. A clear majority of Palestinians would very much like us to think of them as Hamas-ish.

I try not to make characterisations about Israel by their choice in PM.
