    As I recall, the statement said that “Israel bears full responsibility.” I disagree with that. The Israeli government and Hamas together bear full responsibility.

    I am also annoyed at the false dichotomy that criticizing one side is equal to fully supporting the other.

      ah, but Netanyahu created his own enemy. he funded Hamas to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state, promoting it from a small extremist faction to the dominant force in Palestinian politics

        Just because a bad person reportedly funded a terrorist group, doesn’t make them not a terrorist group.

          i’m not denying that Hamas is a terrorist group. i think they’re evil too. what i’m saying is that Netanyahu funded them and propelled them to power, putting his own people at risk to further his political goals

      “Israel bears full responsibility.”

      Sorry, but… where’s the lie? Israel has borne full responsibility for this since 1948 - there is absolutely nothing Hamas can do that changes that.
