'It is amazing to me, as an American who travels the world on a near-constant basis, that there is so much confusion over who the terrorists are. Hamas is a terrorist organization that condones and facilitates suicide bombings and will kill every Jew on the planet if they have the chance.'
Vast numbers of people in the west do not accept this formulation. As my discussions with people in Norway revealed, they do not allow that Hamas are terrorists. To these millions, the Jews are not people with human rights, with any legitimate right to self defense, with any need for tranquillity and peace in their lives. They are simply an evil lump of western intrusion into the perfect muslim arab sea which is the middle east, like a cancer or growth which needs excising. Any activity, whether it is stabbing to death rabbinical students or blowing up children with unguided missiles, is ok in the quest to excise this growth.
The loathing and hatred these people have for the cancer which is Israel is remarkable. It vastly outweighs any of their other beliefs or principles in intensity. Darfur? Who gives a shit? Congo? What? Sri Lanka? Don't give a damn. There is just no other situation that motivates them, gets their juices going, pumps up that feeling of intense loathing and righteous indignation.
These people are in no sense 'peace activists'. If they could see every Israeli die in a steaming pile of nuclear goo, I think they'd be quietly satisfied. Making sure that these people never get ANY sort of satisfaction is worthy of immense efforts on all our parts. These new nazis have holocaust in mind. And they don't seem to care who knows. They are willing to state their goals clearly in public. Lets pay attention.

'Let's pay attention.'
Sounds good to me. Since when do you get to say what will satisfy peace activists ?
For that matter - what they think.
Of course, perhaps I misunderstood. Are you really such 'in drag' ?
You thought there were no other concerns ? Hell, let's go. There's no shortage of raw material. Let's start 'on the record', so to speak. Just for purposes of a baseline.

If what people say is an indication of what they think (and there is quite a good correspondence according to most observers), writing down what 'peace activists' say is not an imposition by me. Long screeds all across the lefty blogosphere damn Israel and implicitly support its destruction by the Arabs. Many of the same people consider themselves 'peace activists'. As for Americas evils, the number of people suffering from American might is miniscule compared to those suffering from German fascist violence, Russian communist violence, Cambodian communist violence, Hutu violence, Chinese communist violence. Motes and beams. When you only ever agitate about one countries evils, you aren't a 'peace activist'.
