"But to answer your questions, had the people in the warsaw ghettos best means of resistance been to attack soft targets, then I would recognise that right."

Therefore, you recognize the right of people to deliberately target and kill innocents in pizzerias, busses, and kindergartens. You don't advocate for it. But you 'understand' it and recognize that as some right. Do you at least believe such actions constitute very vile, perverted, and morally reprehensible behavior?

As for my alleged hypocrisy, I made myself clear before with you so here it is again, even more clearly: The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto did have a right to violently resist the Nazis - a right I recognize and 100% agree with on moral grounds and self-defense. However, if that resistance was like Al-Qaeda's or Hamas', and the Jews of Warsaw were to adopt Hamas and Al-Qaeda tactics by going after innocent Germans, blowing up kindergartens, busses, and pizzerias, while deliberately hiding behind innocents I would be strongly against it and do whatever I could to prevent fellow Jews from carrying out such morally repulsive actions. I certainly wouldn't "recognize" such vulgar methods as any "right" Warsaw Jews were entitled to.

I expect nothing less from you WRT Hamas.

If it were only about 'recognizing the right' of Palestinians to legitimately, legally, and morally resist I wouldn't have an issue with your POV.
