One thing that has come to the fore since Hamas murdered about 1200 Israelis ( some of which sympathised with Palestinians) has been for people who are pro-Israel to simply say anything criticising Israel is anti semitic. This is not new but has reached levels never seen before. Quite related is for some ( and I do say only some) pro-Israel people to say anyone who supports the creation of Palestine is pro-Hamas.
In both cases it is a monstrous lie. I have seen little support for Hamas's evil deeds. however if Hamas deeds were evil has not Israel's response been just as evil. The proportion of Palestinians dying compared to Israelis is well over 10:1 and growing. If Israel is taking due care when trying to find Hamas fighters then I would hate to see what would occur if they did not care.
As I have said previously it appears Israel had no plan to eliminate Hamas if the worst occurred. This is probably because they never thought the worst have occurred.
You cannot have a war with a terrorist group. They are not an army. Terrorists integrate with the population. Israel would know this from their history of Jewish terrorist groups.
I think the reasons for the lies I have outlined is because these people cannot defend the Israel's governments actions.
It is losing support for Israel quite fast. Indeed if Israel looked in their backyard of the West Bank they might cogitate on why and how Hams is so popular.
