Speaking of arguments. You made not a single one. At least a coherent one. You hold Israel to international law by invoking a flawed interpretation of Resolution 242, yet do not mention the whole host of other resolutions Israel is in standing violation of.

So then Israel violates international law. But then that`s ok, because Hamas violates international law, right? Ooh, but Hamas isn`t recognized by the UN as a legitimate member. Doesn`t matter, you do what you gotta do.

You don`t, not for ONE second, get the point of this article. Amira Hass is calling for humanizing your enemy. Seeing that they are flesh, and blood, and soul, and heart. They are not animals, they are not heathens. These are PEOPLE. Who get RIGHTS. Isn`t that the whole point of Israel? Democracy? You can`t sit there and pretend as though the illegal occupation and settlement of the West Bank and Gaza strip is somehow sanctioned by international law...etc, etc, etc. Man, screw it. Ignorant and hopeless.
