"Hamas should no more be held responsible for actions taken by other groups in areas over which it has control than the Isreali government should."
I disagree 100% with this statement! If Hamas or the Israeli government wants legitimacy in the eyes of the world, they are the ones that have the responsibility to take action against civilian criminal acts, and are the ones to blame for not reigning them in. I know Israel prosecutes murderers - Hamas glorifies them.
