What Am I Missing? - Israel and Hamas (Palestinians)

[roberth]

Dude, I'm not talking about moral equivalency here. We're not weighing act against act. We can play that game all day long but I promise it won't go anywhere. We can each google atrocities+Israeli/Palestinian and start posting things.

We're going to disagree on whether or not you're playing moral equivalency games.

My point is that whole sale support of Israel at the expense of our own national interests doesn't make sense.

I would agree with that, except when it comes to the Palestinians.

Fair enough.

I would agree with that, except when it comes to the Palestinians.

Why are they an exception?

You said earlier that we're talking about Palestinians not the rest of the Arab world. Unfortunately none of this happens in a vacuum. Our dealings with China have an affect on our dealings with India. Our dealings with Palestine have an affect on our dealings with the rest of the Arab world whether we like it or not.

The United States should have ceased all contact when the Palestinians elected Hamas as their leadership.
