I’m confused. Are you saying that Hamas is not a terrorist organization?
I’m saying that a “terrorist organization” is a misnamed type of enemy army. Hamas is part of the unorganized military forces of Palestine, just as Al Qaeda was a military formation of Saudi Arabia.
We have always known what to do with enemy armies. Calling them the made up words “terrorist organization” confuses us and blunts the ferocity of our response.
There are Al Qaeda soldiers still in prison in Guantanamo because Bush, Obama, and Trump (and their advisors) all lacked an appropriate frame of reference, because of the made up word “terrorist”. All we keep doing is getting them lawyers.
