They are nothing more than Hamas ...maybe with a better long term strategic plan.
They both executed members of their own faith repeatedly.
They both have shown no mercy to innocents ( see collaborators)
They are both intolerant of other religions ( see Hamas views on Jews --the part about killing any Jew anywhere in the world).
They both want land to establish a sharia caliphate.
Tens of thousands of Palestinian Christians have left gaza and emigrated to avoid endless attacks and harassment ( see the No Christmas in gaza edict)
But I understand what you're saying...if and when they drop a nuke in NY or CA , then I'lll say you were absolutely right.

Yeah,...we need to pick a religious side and have them wipe out the others. That'll do it.
