[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is clear why he is being deported.  Hamas is a terrorist organization.

It's common sense this guy and those like him are people who shouldn't be here. [/quote]

Looking at this, it appears the federal government can legally deport greed card holders based on their advocating or expressing support for terrorist acts.

That said, the terrorist label has become a red herring. Clearly Palestinians and Israelis disagree on who gets to live where on the land. A world where wars are fought as humanely as possible is also clearly a good thing.

But the Palestinians don't have an army, air force or navy. I'm pretty sure Israel would never allow that. So is it surprising the Palestinians resort to terror and other asymmetrical tactics? Should Palestinian jihadists declare war on Israel and attempt to march on Israeli military bases? If the Palestinians are denied access to a regular conventional army it seems a terror response is to be expected.

If a Palestinian militant goes home to an apartment building and the IDF blows the building up killing dozens of people, is the claim that Hamas hides among civilians absolve the IDF from any culpability?

A terror response may occur, but that's a far cry from it being intelligent, useful, productive, and not self-destructive.  The absence of a conventional military should, instead, point to negotiated political change.  In truth, the restrictions on Palestinians which they complain about are in place as the result of their terror activity.  If they engage in terror, can there be any surprise when their freedom of movement is restricted?  Which came first, the chicken or the egg?  History reveals the Palestinian woes began with their violent armed rejection of their own state in 1948.

Put another way, while "it seems a terror response is to be expected", so too are the consequences of that course of action.  As we have seen, that response is overwhelming, which makes one question the rationality of those provoking it.

And yes, if a militant hides in civilian infrastructure that infrastructure is at risk.  There are no "gun-free" zones for militants, where they can shelter with impunity.  The civilians can turn on the militants, if they prefer not to be used as human shields.
