Hamas’ Lib Defenders: Don’t Call Them “Terrorists” Because It’s “Racist”…
…and the race card jumps the shark.
Quote:By attacking Israeli troops and kidnapping one just hours into a new ceasefire Friday morning, Hamas guaranteed that the people it claims to represent in Gaza will face more casualties as Israeli forces hunt for the terrorist who live among them.
Yet, for Hamas defenders, this is unlikely to change their descriptions for the group. Despite long-standing terrorist designations by the United States and European Union, to them Hamas is a “sovereign government,” a political party, a “humanitarian organization”or a “resistance” movement.
A July 14 blog written by Cata Charret on Mondoweiss, a website with a self-described focus on a “progressive Jewish perspective,” denounced describing Hamas as a terrorist group as “reductionist and racist,” noting they were democratically elected. The Huffington Post’s Jonathan Russo called Hamas’ terrorist reputation a result of “Israel’s mislabeling and misdiagnosis.”
“When they threw out Fatah in their 2007 coup they became a sovereign government, rulers of a tiny yet definable enclave. At that moment Hamas went from a terrorist group to a legitimate government,” Russo wrote.
That “legitimate government,” we now know, diverted millions of dollars that could have helped build Gaza and improve life for its people into building a vast rocket arsenal and tunnel network with one aim – to kill as many Israelis as possible.

Like the Economist Thomas Sowell said:
"The word 'racism' is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything-and demanding evidence makes you a 'racist.'

Who takes the word racist serious anymore? It's SO miss used. Mostly by real racists calling the rest of us racist.

It's good that someone is supporting Hamas, because outside of Qatar and ISIS, the Arabs are not...
This time, Gaza fighting is 'proxy war' for the Mideast - CNN.com
http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/31/world/meas...za-region/ Wrote:While Hamas' rocket attacks and Israel's military actions may look familiar, they're taking place against a whole new backdrop.
"This is unprecedented in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict," says CNN's Ali Younes, an analyst who has covered the region for decades. "Most Arab states are actively supporting Israel against the Palestinians -- and not even shy about it or doing it discreetly."

As they've said before HAMAS is definitely not liked by most of the Arab world. (and neither are most Palestinians...) Arabs would love for the Israelis to take out all of the Palestinians and then they could turn around and say... "Those evil JOOOOOS!"

The Jews have a radical self destructive movement very much like our white liberals here at home.

Oddly enough , they vote for the DNC mostly. I have dealt with conservative Jewish business men in the past. But few very few.

Yes, very much so, in Israel the anti-Zionists exploit the Israeli democracy at every turn. In the US 80% of Jews vote democratic. Very, almost fanatical self-destructive.
I wonder about this anomaly.

look at how many famous Jewish people here in the United States are far left lunatics and would love to see Israel wiped off the map.

Well, they're not different than gays defending Muslims. The same religion that would chop their head off just for being gay.
Not too bright, these Lefties.

Liberalism has a long tradition in Jewish politics, going back at least to The Russian revolution.
There is a saying though that if you have three Jews in a room then you have at least four opinions.
