>> That must not mean that one should stand by the side of mass murderers

The problem is that this is so ambiguous it took me a minute to work out who you meant. The mass murderers you're referring to have murdered many fewer people than the other side. They have done some heinous things but they're only a 'terror organisation' because their crimes aren't sanctioned by a state. A state which has also reportedly done many heinous things. My point being, if Israel were not so supported by the West I think we would look at both sides of this conflict with disgust.

That's possible, but isn't a counter argument to my point - not sure if it was intended as one though.

For the people in the southern levante to live in peace, Hamas must be overcome as well as Netanjahu and his clique.
