(428 posts)15. Since you asked, I think people in that part of the world are just plain nuts, and not deep thinkers.
I'm not taking sides with any of them. Killing is wrong. I sometimes wonder if people that believe in life after death have no qualms about killing, because in their minds, the dead are just going to hop up out of their graves and continue on living. La-de-da ad infinitum.
As to the OP, I don't think Hamas really thought things through and bit off more than they could chew. Same could be said for Israel and the Republican Party here in the states. Religion has rotted all of their brains.

I've heard that, but I'm not fully convinced as there seems to be a lot of gray area

Look, I don't have a problem with folks that don't believe in life after death.

I do not need a lecture from you, or provide you with documentation.
