Ahh, someone has never heard f the enemy of my enemy is my friend.  Let's also ignore the sentiment, most exemplified by Patton, that the Soviets should have been next after Germany fell.

Quote:Few believe that made the US "Communist apologists/supporters."  

Because they weren't.

Quote:But that whole analogy is out of kilter because no one in this forum has "allied/joined" with or "defended" Hamas "knowing their intentions." 

You mean no one except you.

They weren't?  Then it's YOUR analogy which falls apart here. The question was whether "allying" with someone was an endorsement of their goals.
In the US Soviet case, Patton seemed to think not. 

And analogy itself is far off point since no one here is "allied" with Hamas. That's something you keep asserting without evidence.

The US formally "allied/joined" with the Soviet Union and "knowing their intentions," called them "allies" in public speeches and documents.

I, on the other hand, have not called Hamas an "ally" but rather an impediment to a two-state solution, which I said depended
on their destruction.

If you are asked to produce an example of me calling Hamas and "ally" or "joining" with them, you cannot.

Your whole claim just rests on my acknowledgement of IDF war crimes and disregard of my statements critical of Hamas.
