Let's see - Israel, a liberal democracy, that has struck peace with Jordan and Egypt, compared to Hamas - a radical Islamic terrorist organisation that continues to fire rockets at civilians during several cease-fires and openly declares its aims to destroy Israel and kill every last Jew.This hypocritical BS has got to stop indeed.

Deductive reasoning + recent historical precedents (lots of 'em) = legitimate intellectual process. Guesses are not always wrong. In refusing to follow deductive reasoning to its logical conclusion in this case, you are equally as intellectually dogmatic as Iran.

"Again, trying to mislead people into believing that Russia was some how responsible for sending the weapons."I quoted directly from the article, so please go send a letter to the editor of the newspaper that you think they try to mislead people by their statement. k?You and your team are very persistent to create negative connotations to try and get the audience to reject a person or idea on the basis of negative associations, without allowing a real examination of that person or idea -- almost systematic about it.

The title implies the ship attempted to bring weapons to Hamas. Hamas is currently engaged with Israel. It wasn't a huge leap.
