"The democratic conduct of Hamas as you term it extends to summary street executions and waging war on its neighbor Israel in all but name."

You might say the same for Israel and the US which is waging war on Palestine.
Summary street executions? Wasn't that done to bin Laden and Gadafi? What ever happened to the democratic position of habeas corpus where as we did in the Nurenberg Trials, put the criminals up before an international court? Now we just assassinate them.

By summary street executions, Israel is exempted? This is specious.

Hamas was duly elected and this is a democratic process regardless of how they operate today.

The US is no longer capable of being an honest broker to the peace process here.
The UN's decision underscores that point.
