Good PR day for Israel

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/03/02/hamas.spy/index.html
Sure It's good PR for Israel to wave around the son of an enemy. Renounce the father, nice touch. Especially since the Goldstone report is getting so much attention these days and calls for further investigations into allegations of war crimes.

Truthfully, no one I know who opposes the actions of Israel visa vie the Palestinians supports Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO or ANYONE's use of violence or terrorism. But it is a little more than disingenuous for Israel or it's supporters to 'blame' Hamas, Al Aqsa Martyrs, Hezbollah , PLO, Jihadists, Fatah, or any other group operating in that area (there are dozens) for the violence, or point to their tactics as inhumane, which of course they are, and not recognize that none of these groups would even exist if it were not for the fact that Israel was created from war and continues in war to this day. It's like blaming Cochise for being a crazy Indian.
