You dumb schmuck. **It’s a blinkered ultra-partisan mindset like yours that will lead to generations more conflict and thousands more deaths of innocent people, from both sides.**

[BTW, WTF? Nowhere in my post do I equate Hamas and Palestinians. If I was equating Hamas and Palestinians I’d ask you to show me heinous crimes committed by Palestinians, but since Hamas!=Palestinians that’s not what I did. More lies…]
