    Many people organically just don’t approve of cutting childrens’ throats and putting the video up on the internet. Strange but true.

      Some people can distinguish between an ethnic group such as the Palestinians and a terrorist organization such as Hamas.

      Racist much?

        The Palestinians overwhelmingly elected Hamas to be their government. Thus there is no effective difference.

          There have been no elections in Gaza since 2006

          At that point, Hamas won on a plurality of 41%.

          Hardly overwhelming.

          Today, 50% of the population are under 18 & 64% of adults say they do not feel it is safe to criticise Hamas.

          So enough of your nonsense, though frankly, even if a large majority had voted Hamas in a recent election, that would still leave a lot of people who are against Hamas.

            Yeah, well maybe they ought to speak up. In the meantime their elected representatives are all-in on rapine & slaughter which, incidentally, invites reprisal.

              You’ve seen in unarguable terms how little Hamas cares for life. They’ll exploit the suffering and deaths of Gazans in their war against Israel. How can you possibly continue to think Gazans are able to “speak up” against Hamas after what you’ve seen Hamas do?

              Hamas are not their elected representatives. They are a brutal dictatorship who rule Gaza with violence and fear, including slaughter & rape of their own.
