    But again, you don’t need context to condemn Hamas.

    You can condemn the actions, but if you want to fix the problem, then you better learn the context in which the actions take place. Otherwise it’s just going to be centuries more of throwing bombs at each other.

      According to Hamas, their grievance is that Jews are alive. I’m not going to address that grievance.

      That seems likely, but just denying the objectives of Hamas isn’t going to bring peace either. For the last 20 years, the international community has been trying to follow the Oslo and Camp David peace accords, but there’s been only one even remotely interested partner.
