   “No amount of rhetoric from defenders and apologists of Hamas can change the reality that the group committed mass murder in Israel two weeks ago. The horrific and indiscriminate killings of more than 1,000 Israeli civilians of all ages meets the dictionary definition of terrorism.”

     “It is equally true that no amount of rhetoric can change the reality that the Israeli government has engaged in mass murder during the last two weeks. Israel’s horrific military actions in Gaza have already killed several thousand Palestinian civilians of all ages. That too meets the definition of terrorism.”

     @SocialistStan Right, no, sorry, nothing justifies what Hamas did. Just as nothing justifies what Israel is doing. Nothing justifies murdering innocent civilians. Period. And I have nothing to say to anyone who would defend it on behalf of any group.

     @aral Hamas's targeting of civilians is a retaliation in kind for what Israel has done for 75 years.

     @aral A powerful article, although choosing that particular quote does not convey the message contained within.
