No I’m not, I said no such thing. I argued Hamas are a blood thirsty terrorist group who will commit any heinous crime without compunction. Palestinians very clearly have much to fear from Hamas who have a history of murdering Palestinians who oppose them. I support Israel’s right to defend itself, I do not support Israel conducting open warfare killing tens of thousands of civilians. I support a negotiated settlement and a two state solution.

Maybe the Palestinians don’t know where the hostages are being held. Maybe the Palestinians are living I fear of Hamas, which I think we all agree is a viscous bloodthirsty terrorist organization. You claiming they must know doesn’t mean they do and clearly you have no defense of your claim the Palestinians are holding the hostages. But you are doing a very good job at putting forward the argument for collective punishment, which fits well with your ‘no reason to complain when the carnage starts’.

The IRA absolutely did attack within the UK, both in NI and the mainland, they also took hostages, murdered captives. And settled the conflict by means of negotiation. There are a great many lessons to lean from that conflict, including it is possible to combat terrorist in an urban environment without mass civilian casualties and deeply divided sectarian conflict can end by means of negations.
