[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hamas does not just want to destroy the Jewish state, but to kill all Jews.[/quote]

I guess I’ll have to take you at your word because I’m not obsessed with Hamas (or boogeymen of any stripe, I guess).

However, in no part of this world is that purported aim even within a moonshot of being an actual danger, right? In fact, as we’ve all seen just these past two years or so, the body count disparity in this conflict really makes your statement seem silly and probably disingenuous.

Pointedly, members of which group are more at risk of death from members of the other group, based on the actual body count?

Now … do you see why people tend to roll their eyes with these existential threat claims you make to justify the actions of the group you favor?[/quote]

Take Hamas at their word.  It is literally the underpinning of their entire reason for existing.  It's in preamble to their charter:   Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts. It is a step that inevitably should be followed by other steps. The Movement is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished and Allah's victory is realised.

Counting bodies is a perverse way to decide which side is just and moral.  There is simply no equivalence between a group dedicated to the destruction of the adherents to another religion, and the exercise of defense against that obscene objective.
