Grr. I just realised that my latest denigration of Hamas was on another website, not here. Here's what I said.

It's perfectly possible to support Hamas in their resistance to Israeli aggression against Gaza without supporting their ludicrous stated intent to wipe Israel off the map. I've vehemently opposed nuclear weapons all my life, but I've still voted for a party* that embraces them. I vehemently opposed the Iraq invasion but I still voted for the party that took us in, knowing that the alternative was far worse. If I lived in Northern Ireland I would vote for Sinn Fein, in spite of the bloody history of the IRA. That's how the world is. It is not antisemitic to say that I support Hamas in resisting the IDF abuses if I make it clear that I oppose the targeting of Jews BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWS. To me, that's what antisemitism is, nothing else.

*Voted tactically in their favour, to be accurate.
