Not saying he was wrong, but you could equally apply the reasoning to Hamas.
They just recruited a nation hell bent on revenge.

And they are capable and will commit atrocities equal and worse than the IRA did.

Even though SF/IRA are the biggest crowd of murderous gangsters and serial killers these islands have ever seen, they ain't a patch on the Hamas küntz.
 
A Hamas leader on the news made me laugh... His words were designed to pass the buck to the insurgents and he was (to all intents and purposes) saying that the Hamas leadership didn't order the atrocities that the world has seen and they therefore must have been the result of some "very naughty boys who went over the border wearing Go Pro's and got a little carried away"

Fucking cowards, the Hamas leadership..... I was gobsmacked

Well we got really close to peace and then Israeli ultranationalists killed Rabin, and the new Netenyahu ran Israel poured a shit ton of money into the Palestinian Islamist mosques to disrupt the PLO regime and Yasser Arafat that had signed the Oslo Accords leading to the rise of Hamas and their religious zealotry instead.

And Hamas embarked on a series of suicide bombings that derailed the peace process and emboldened the right wing

Some in Israel are starting to realise that the right wing has been a disaster can you imagine if they had been given the West Bank with some land link to Gaza just imagine

So should Hamas really. You sense the last couple of weeks have put peace beyond the reach for another generation at least, I won’t be around to witness it I can’t see.

That was my point - what Israel is doing should heed that statement seeing as how they are surrounded by people like Hezbollah and ISIS - they will see HAMAS as brothers in arms and Palestinian civilians as unacceptable casualties. The desire for revenge only breeds revenge.

Hamas might be pushing for Russia to allow its bases in Syria to be used by Iran or Syrian forces who would then use them to support Hezbollah. Latakia is in direct range for attacks on Israel.

Israel bombed the runways of two major Syrian airports this week, they probably won't do the same for Russian bases.
