Reader comment on item: Two Palestines, Anyone?

Submitted by Blackspeare (United States), Jun 20, 2007 at 11:32

Ex-president Jimmy Carter just got into the fray and guess what a surprise----he sides with Hamas----condemning the actions of the US and Israel for it's non-support of a legitimately elected party. So what if Hamas uses terrorism----it's a way of life, and for some, a career.

Just because Hamas operatives wear full face black masks, forever carry AK-47's, throw rival Fatah members from high rise rooftops doesn't mean they're criminal! The masks could be covering a bad case of acne or preventing the spread of germs, the AK 47's could be nothing more than an intricately designed walking stick, and throwing others from a high rise building assure an instant death and limits the suffering of those individuals---- what more compassion could you ask for?
