Except apparently now when they didn't condemn Israel, despite pressure to do so.
Pressure from whom? The arab countries that fund the terrorists?
Oh, well cheers. If you don't want us to kill off your innocents, why aren't you acting differently? Because the Palestinians are such an organized and coherent group with clear and authoritative leaders.
Us? I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you're a Palestinian terrorist. Interesting you'd have that affiliation.
Israel should act differently? What about the pals?
As for electing Hamas, they didn't have much of a choice.
Of course they did... but they don't want peace. I'm not saying that the PA wasn't a corrupt organization. Yes, Suha took a lot of foreign aid and put it into her french bank accounts. But at some point, they had to make a decision... peace? two autonomous states? or continue to teach their kids to blow themselves up.
Personally, I think they made their decision with lovely things like:

Excuse me? Disagree with them all you want, but the innocents that Israel kills are a tragedy undeserving of mockery.
The innocents shelter terrorists. And I'd feel a lot worse for them if I didn't constantly hear from my side of the aisle that my people should go die because they offend the Arabs.
And, for the record... just so you know. I try to be objective on this subject. I do. There are things Israel has done, particularly when Sharon was first in ofice, that I disagreed with strenuously. But then the Pals had Rabin (and yes, Rabin was murdered by a loony on his side of the fence).... and a series of Israeli leaders who would have made a deal for two autonomous states any time... but the pals don't want two autonomous states. Like Shogie always says, they want Israel..... and that's simply not going to happen.
And the continued effort on the part of certain people to paint the pals as victimized and not assigning them any responsibility for their situation is incredibly offensive to me.
Wait you mean people have irrational feelings of revenge after loved ones are killed? Shocking I tell you, just shocking.
Well, maybe they shouldn't blow themselves up just to kill jews in the first place. And maybe they should talk peace and remove the destruction of Israel as part of their agenda? Or should Israel just not respond and die like good jews are supposed to when missiles get fired at its citizens?
Again, I try to be as objective as I can about this. I might not always succeed. Obviously, I have a horse in the race. I don't want my family killed by animals when we're there, you know? (And by animals, I don't mean all pals, I mean terrorists, lest you think otherwise).
