I don't get this. You seem to accept the fact that there are "implications for Israel" (ie. annihilation of Jews worldwide, as stated in their charter ?), and yet call hamas a "resistence movement" ? Really ? When Hamas came to the elections, it was painfully clear : the Hamas movement is a choice for open war instead of negotiation (that was what the choice came down to, how it was presented in Gaza, what the PLA was doing : conquer Israel through negotiation, and international pressure). And while Hamas faked the election, they would have won if they didn't. Their support in the Gaza strip is not 100%, but it is very, very hight. Incidentally, the first thing once they were securely in power was massacre Fatah. [1] Democracy ? Resistance ? Hamas is as much of a democratic resistance movement as the KGB is. One thing I also don't get. Hamas has a stated policy of destroying human rights [2], yet this never gets even mentioned in this conflict. Reporting on the constant atrocities by Hamas is almost non-existent, and doesn't seem to influence people's opinion on the matter. Why not ? Hamas has, for one thing, killed more Palestinians than Israel. [4] How can anyone support these guys ? Allow me to finish with a sentence from a Hamas propaganda video that should shock you : "You love life, and we love death. And that is why we will win."
