Not sure about you, but not everything I write here is 100% thought out and vetted, and therefore I reserve the right to amend things as needed when I wish to make my point more clear.
Therefore, my dear legal assistant, if you had read my subsequent post you will see I said, "The Palestinians in Gaza, as a majority, would agree with Hamas doing this. This makes them enablers. They are therefore definitionally not innocent. Yes, of course there are those in Gaza who want peace and who do not support Hamas. They are the innocent victims. But they are in the minority."
All of this is of course irrelevant. As was your nonsensical response to my hypothetical in which you seem to complain of checkpoints. All of this would go away if Hamas chose peace over war. As long as Hamas chooses war, even if it is a slow moving, poorly executed, externally funded war, then the people within its territories will suffer. You know, so that bombs and weapons and terrorists have a hard time getting into Israel unchecked. Not that you would care if they did.
It truly astounds me that there are those who will say with a straight face, and with all sincerity, that Hamas and its allies should be allowed to have as its goal the destruction of Israel, and yet Gaza suffer no consequences. It would be one thing if when something tragic happens in Gaza, and pleadings are made with Israel to do more to reduce suffering, the last sentence of the pleading ended with, "but all of this would be unnecessary if Hamas chose peace over war and, since they choose war, this is ultimately all their fault". But, since Israel's critics do not say this, they are irrelevant and not worth listening to or caring about.
