People have no problem claiming Hamas, a democratically elected leading party, as a terrorist organization so... Edit: I am only criticizing the juxtaposition

People have no problem claiming Hamas, a democratically elected leading party, as a terrorist organization so...
Edit: I am only criticizing the juxtaposition of being elected and being compared to terrorists. The example itself is of no interest to me.
- yyyk 6y agoIgnoring their terrorist record, 'democratically elected' in that case means 'one man, one vote, one time, and no elections ever since 2006'. We don't call people who win one elections and never allow another 'democrats'.
- crowf 6y agoIf Republicans start firing rockets directed at Mexican(?) civilians, then I guess that we can start claiming that they are terrorists
- dunkelsten 6y agoIf Mexicans shot back causing 23 times the casualties on the other hand, they clearly would not be terrorists though, as they just defended themselves.
- crowf 6y agoNo, if a group of Republicans decided to go on a lynch (maybe while dressed in white cloths) I would consider them a terrorist organization, even if they only targeted the race of people who attacked their race
