Damn straight. And I am on their side too.

I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, saith the Lord to Israel. That makes a few blessed folks around the world...and a lot of cursees...

With all due respect to the Congresswomen, Egypt and Jordan can bring little pressure on Hamas, since Hamas has little to no respect for these "corrupt" leaders. If Hamas is to feel any pressure, then the supply line of money and support (all kinds) it receives from the European Union will need to be cut as well. That goes for our own State Department too.

When Hamas is treated as a pariah and not as celebrated freedom fighters, or urban guerrillas, or as an organization with a legitimate cause, then perhaps.

Cut the money. Cut the sympathy. And allow Israel to retaliate no matter how bloody, then perhaps Hamas can be destroyed. But as long as the Europeans and our State Department, coerce Israel through economic and political sanctions, Israel will always draw back their hand. The Left in Israeli politics carries its share of responsibility too.
