You don't have to support killing and violence. But you do. Shame on you.
It is best to just support peace and not feed the violence. But you don't. No, You just keep on talking about how some people should be slaughtered. What is it that drives positions like that?
A proper position is to not support ANY violence. Why are you opposed to that position? I see these gawd damned rednecks day in and day out that support violence. I don't expect it on DU, but there you are. What kind of person are you to sit at your computer and support violence in a far away land?

To think that Hamas will stop firing rockets if they get what they want is naive.

We probably killed more civilians with our own shooting of rockets on July 4th than Hamas has...

The word is "there", not "their" and saying Israelis would build gas chambers is disgusting

do you think that Hamas could destroy Israel and invading the Gaza strip will help prevent that?

Hamas exists to promote radical Islam. They are by definition radical fundamentalists.
