It has been argued that Judaism isn't a race, but for all practical purposes it is, and everybody knows it.
I will criticise Hamas for their idiocy, and I will criticise the IDF for their wanton destruction, and this is my right as a free thinking individual, in spite of the extremists, but there's no way i can criticise a race. it is a fallacy.
so take your anger at the IDF and I can debate that.

well seeing as you are on the topic of HAMAS - can you explain why the ISraeli government funded and intitially set up the HAMAS organisation in the occupied territories? (I will give you a hint, as a political alternative to the PLO - and to divide the resistance to the Israeli occupation)
This is not a novel method of destabilising an enermy - it goes back to the Ancient Roman and Hellenic empires.
BUT when HAMAS eventually got enough support and won an election in Palestine, the Israelis and the USA were Appauled - so much for reaping what you sowe and so much for supporting the democratic process.
What a mess the US/Israeli web of lies has created in the region
