I'm not saying you're equating them. I'm saying you are, bizarrely, refusing to recognize that Hamas did something way more grievous than almost any group, even any terrorist organization, would ever do.
Forget Israelis. Imagine the IRA, during the Troubles (possibly one of the most bloodthirsty terrorist organizations in modern history) stomping into Northern Ireland and raping and murdering Protestants in the streets. It's near impossible to do so.
When Hank draws a distinction between taking someone's land by abusive legal proceedings and raping/killing, and you say "Thanks for letting me know Hamas is bad," you're ducking. You know damn well that Hamas took things to the proverbial "next level" X10.
You're not conceding any of your other points - well made and true - regarding the history on both sides, to acknowledge the unique perversity of Hamas' recent attack, and how and why its not like all the rest, from both sides, that preceded it.
