Lame? Hardly. Of course I agree that Hamas operates within (under in their case) civilian infrastructure, I said it repeatedly before you entered the conversation. It’s disingenuous of you to pretend you persuaded me to agree with you about that. So does every other military organization on the surface of the planet, including our own right here in OKC. What is preposterous is the Israeli notion (which is bantered about by every propagandized and manipulated non-thinking person) that by systematically bombing and murdering in genocidal fashion a people it had already driven into an open air prison Israel will bring an end to the carnage and hatred it engenders. Israel gets to kill Palestinians as easily as shooting fish in a barrel. You say you would expect the same behavior if OKC faced the same circumstances. I’m sure you believe that as long as it’s spoken in hushed theoretical tones. But a little birdie tells me you might feel differently if you were the one sheltering from an onslaught of bombs dropping around you, wishing to God there was a tunnel somewhere you could hide in, or if you watched as your beautiful daughter had her life ripped from her as collateral damage while your were assured it wasn’t personal, they were after the bad guys in your midst, your daughter’s death can be laid at the feet of the bad guys. From what little I know of your personality it would come as no surprise that you would consider joining the terrorists to enact your own personal revenge. How could you not? How could anyone not? Who could possibly think that’s the path to peace?
