""Do you honestly believe that there in Gaza the population in general, who elected Hamas for the express purpose of firing these missiles into Israel. now wish they would stop it; or would not vote for them again if they went back for re-election?""

Do you really believe that the ordinary non involved men, women and children of Gaza are all terrorists, while the killers of the Israeli IDF are all knights in shining armour, fighting evil.
It had never occurred to me that you could be that naive.

I do not concur with your claim that Hamas was elected for the express purpose of firing rockets.

That is more absurd than anything I have said, or or even dreamed of saying.

The vast majority of Gazans would just like Israel to piss off and mind its own turnip patch, so that they could come out of the rubble and start to rebuild their homes which have been indiscriminately flattened by air strikes.

Israel is, however, on the verge of making every Palestinian an implacable enemy IMHO, and they will pay dearly and come out at the other end as a genocidal pariah.

I note that you didn't have the good grace to acknowledge my response to your other absurd accusation.
