That's not my philosophy nor is it what I said at all, in fact I explicitly said otherwise, did you read and understand my entire post? Your characterization seems in very bad faith.
The fact that the Hamas action was in response to pre-existing circumstances in no way absolves them from moral responsibility any more than the state of Isreal is absolved of moral responsibility for atrocities it commits in reaction to Hamas' actions.
