re: #190 Darlington

That’s tarring an entire nation with the guilt of the minority that voted said gang into power.

First, Hamas won an election handily, although they have not bothered to have another election since then.

Secondly, that’s true, but unimportant. The issue of exactly how many Palestinians-in-the-street really support Hamas or Fatah, really support terror, really hate all Jews, is infinitely fascinating to some people, but it’s something of a red herring in terms of political and military matters. Israel cannot deal with Mrs. Salwa al-Misri on an individual basis, they have to deal with political parties, and groups in power.
