Not siding with every stupid thing that Israel does and shouldn't do is one thing.

None of this, however, can make me sympathetic toward towel head jihadists who'd be quite content to see us all dead.

Like many of us, I would think, I have several Muslims in my personal circle of regular acquaintances. They're regular people.
They talk about the Red Sox, and they talk about how stupid Trump supporters are. We discuss our favorite restaurants.
The ladies don't wear skirts a lot, but neither does Miss Kamala or Hillary. They're just regular human beings.

Not Palestinian jihadists. They probably even want Moon, their American patron saint, stone dead.

So sure, if the Israelis are manifesting uncalled for aggression, they should be called for it.
Doesn't make me disrespect Hamas any less.
