You know I expect crazy Likud people to say shit like this from time to time. What really grosses me out is how all the Israel apologists are not even slightly bothered by it and actually agree for the most part.
The nature of the conflict makes it a for us or against us decision. It is a shame there are so few moderates in positions of relevant power, the moderates Israeli voices seem to be primary journalists, and even they seem to merely be reporting instead of advocating. I notice that people use Palestine and Hama's pretty interchangeably in arguments as well, there is one group who is being slaughtered, and it is not Hamas (admittedly, some of them must be, by the numbers). If Israel wanted to honestly make the region safer, they would be embracing a two state solution with military concessions and a strict border. They obviously don't, and neither do the regions Muslim leaders. Its beautiful that a place that so bitterly divides two peoples can bring their puppetmasters so close together.
