So, make the distinction impossible. They can not be "resistors" when there is no occupation to resist, and they have what they claim they have wanted. After that, they are plainly and obviously, even before the apologists, terrorists.
If they continue to make the distinction, then there is absolutely no doubt before all the world that they are hypocrites.
Derek, is the world, especially the Arab world, rational regarding Israel? Does the world support Israel's battle with Hizbollah now that they have pulled back to the UN-approved border? And if Israel withdraws to the Green Line, and the world discovers they have an issue with 5 million 'refugees', all of whom must be granted Israeli citizenship immediately, then what? You gonna tell Israel, "sorry, now I recognize that they're terrorists?"
I might remind you that the 'occupation' that Hamas and Hizbollah and Islamic Jihad are resisting is the occupation of Palestine -- any part of it -- by the Jews. The PA has paid lip service to the idea that they claim only the West Bank and Gaza, but if the meant it, they would have put a lid on Hamas and Hizbollah, which they plainly have not done. Arafat had his chance for a settlement and muffed it. |
