"If it weren't for them dadblamed Yankee abolitionists, they'd STILL be singin' and dancin' in the cotton fields" or

The history of this dispute proves that, even if Hamas had been militarily defeated, the only thing this could have led to would have been an even more harsh Palestinian leadership emerging in its place. That's all "victory" ever leads to in this thing, shira. Why haven't you picked up on that yet?

I support human rights everywhere. I couldn't do them any good by denouncing Hamas and supporting the Occupation. Supporting the Occupation would make me the enemy of the Palestinians forever.
