Hamas just stepped on the idea of peaceful protests by Palestinians...

via Free Beacon.

A senior Hamas official said Wednesday that 50 of the 62 Palestinians reported killed in riots at the Israel-Gaza Strip border on Monday and Tuesday were members of the Islamist terrorist group.

"In the last rounds of confrontations, if 62 people were martyred, 50 of them were Hamas," Dr. Salah Albardawil said in an interview with an Arabic news outlet, according to the Times of Israel. Albardawil was responding to a question about Hamas sending kids to die in the border riots as political fodder.

GEEZ!

First Netanyahu spouts that Jerusalem is and will always be the UNDIVIDED capital of Israel starting this nonsense (well at least pouring gas on the fire) and now this Hamas joker practically admits that the rioting was anything but peaceful.

They stepped all on the visuals of protesters being gunned down in a few paragraphs.

It's like the two sides are demanding two fight and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

My first instinct was right.

I support Israel but the Middle East is just one big cesspool.  Constant warfare seems like a way of life for them.

If that's right then we need to get out the way and pick up the pieces after the deed is done.

Side note.  I'm not vacillating.  I'm getting new information and adjusting to it.  That's called common sense.  If you're driving down the road and you get info over the radio that the road is closed do you find a new route or do you continue on?  If you made the adjustment to a new route then its not vascillation it's adapting to changing information.  I'm doing that with my views on the protests that turned deadly.
