You stated earlier that Israel is a democracy. And I agreed. Therefore the Israeli government is the country, and is the repesentative of its people.
Of course not all of its citizems agree with the government policies. that's the same in all countries. As in all countries some will vehemently disagree with the government.
That will explain the continued war with the Palestinians in the West Bank, its continuing occupation of the West Bank, and its continuing expansion of settlements?
You need to see the bigger picture.
Hamas refused the US version of a two state solution.
And of courese US will have presented a fair and equitable settelement.
You think I'm making it up?
More than 200 Palestinians, nearly 30 Israelis killed so far this year: UN
UN Middle East envoy Tor Wennesland says deaths from violence so far this year are the highest recorded since 2005.
And that's in the West Bank alone, a country which Notch7 thinks isn't at war with Israel.
Don't be ridiclous, unless it gives you some comfort.
The labelling of organisations as terrorist is a political act.
During WWII French resistance fighters would have been designated as a terrorist organisation.
UK and others called them Resistance.
Can you accept that the labelling of an organisation as a terrorist organisation is a political action, designed to sway public opinion, and bears no resemblance to reality?
The article goes on to suggest that a disputed version of what is terrorism can only be ascribed to non-state organisations. Now that's convenient.
Some obvious terrorist incidents were not described as teroriism because it fitted the racist attitudes at that time, e.g,.
I will repeat: the labelling of an organisation as a terrorist organisation is a political action, designed to sway public opinion, and bears no resemblance to reality.
If you don't like the answers, don't keep asking the same question repeatedly.
Because I discuss the labelling of organisations as terrorists does not suggest, state, nor imply that I support terrorism.
You're making dishonest allegations again, and as usual.
If you can't refrain from making dishonest allegations when discussing senstive issues, perhaps you shouldn't participate at all.
Just as a thought:
If UK was to alter its support for Israel, and perhaps take a more non-partisan approach, it may have to admit that its foreign policy towards the Middle East from about 1000 AD to about 1500 AD was fundamentally wrong, and perhaps Britain would then be seen as an invader, or even a terrorist organisation.

They were fighting German soldiers not civilians
So you are claiming Hamas have committed no acts of terror and shouldn’t be labelled as terrorists.
Im glad we sorted that out, we know exactly what you stand for
Usually, but not always:
Did the French Resistance kill civilians?
During the second world war, did the French Resistance kill civilian or paramilitary targets? And if so, how often did this happen? Additionally, were there any murders of collaborators after the...

And Israel is targetting Palestinian civilians, as it has done for decades.
You're imagnation is overactive again.
In fact, I'd say it's bordering on the delusional.
Have Hamas committed acts of terror in your opinion?

You will have apologists on either side, murder is fair game.
This conflict began post war and is still continuing.
If you don't like my answers stop asking the same question repeatedly.
And if you think I'm going to change my answer because you keep repeating the same question time and time again, you're being foolhardy.
To describe an organisation as terrorist, or their actions as terrorist depends entirely on your own political viewpoint. (and to a lesser degree your approach to ethnicity)
To describe Hamas actions of killing civilians, as terrorist, one must also describe Israelis as terrorists, and the WWII French (and other country's) Resistance, which UK were providing finance, arms and even fighters, as terrorists, and even all racial violence perpetrators, as terrorists.
NB, Muslim racial violence is already described as terrorist.
