The GOP is definitely not letting this serious crisis go to waste trying to score political points. Republican national committee chair called the attacks a great opportunity for our candidates.

Everyone on "the modern far left" condemns the Hamas attacks in the strongest possible terms.
Hamas is the far right of the Palestinian movement--anti-abortion, anti-modern, anti-diplomacy Islamists.

They are the Palestinian counter part of the Israeli far right, which wants the West Bank and
Gaza ethnically cleansed and incorporated into Israel. These two groups tank peace proposals whenever possible.

What upsets our Right is that "the modern far left" also condemns Israeli killing of civilians, occupation,
collective punishment, and illegal settlement. "Excuses" forbidden to Palestinians come fast and furious in defense of Israel.

So there is an "opportunity" for sure. Claim talk about the occupation "excuses" Hamas and maybe
defenders of human rights will back down. You don't want a lot of public discussion of that, if you want
to keep the current policy double standard unchanged. Give Israel 3 billion a year and call it "anti-semitism" if
someone wants strings attached--like progress on a two-state solution. This forum reflects the same dynamic
as our national politics--use Hamas to deflect critique of Israel and affirmation of Palestinian rights.
