    When you poke a caged dog for nearly a century and it bites your hand off, only a fool would act surprised.

      Not only caged, but one that grew surrounded by constant existential threats while being outfitted with steel fangs. It’s not going to bite your hand. It’s going to rip your throat off and that of anyone nearby.

        You destroy any threat to your survival and you’re justified in doing it. No different than you or I. Hamas was and is responsible for their actions. They chose to never have peace. They chose war.

          You imply the actions of Hamas are caused by Israel caging and poking them. It’s excusatory. Hamas is responsible for their actions. They chose to murder babies. You know that. The more you ignore denouncing their actions, the more you support and sympathize with terrorists.
