Sharia Enabling Liberals and also, Fuck Hamas

Hamas' inability to compromise when they want an all-Sharia state is why the West Bank and Gaza Strip remained separate. The majority of remaining Palestinians living just fine inside Israel don't give a fk about wanting a Sharia state, and cohabit and share political power just fine with Israelis. Nobody fist-pumping on college campuses seems to comprehend that particular reality.

All the engineered liberal backlash to Israel is woefully uninformed about the fact that so many Palestinians live in Israel just fine. They understand that enjoying life in a Western nation requires compromise, power sharing, interest on investments, letting women wear whatever the fuck they want, and not giving a solitary shit about an unmarried neighbor couple tucking into a lobster roll and enjoying a nap with their cute little lapdog.
Hamas needs to be hammered imo. Hard, with prejudice. Manipulating liberal sentiment is how Sharia states empower their own fan base of exclusion and oppression, and empower the very right wing religious monstrosity that liberalism is supposed to oppose. When I was over in Ireland and discovered how many fans of Cousin Ira flew Hamas flags, my doors of sympathy slammed shut so hard they shook the whole house.
