I find it extremely frightening that a member of the US Congress cannot tell that Hamas is a terrorist organization, and part of her logic is that her group had been accused of being terrorists, but they weren't. Shouldn't a congressperson be able to identify logical fallacies? If someone accuses me of being an assassin, but I'm not, it doesn't mean that Sirhan Sirhan wasn't an assassin because he was also accused. If you don't understand political nuance, don't work in politics.

Her equivocation only stems from her agreement with the Cause. One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. She thinks Hamas is resistance, and therefore an ever noble cause.

Hamas brutally and intentionally gang raped, tortured, and burned Israelis alive, then deliberately hid among crowded Palestinian civilians, making them targets, and also stole their food supplies. There is no moral relativity regarding Hamas; there is only ignobility and cowardness. And please don't tell me Israel is doing the same thing. They are not.

You left out the kidnapping of Israeli children, women, and elderly as well as the kidnapping of US citizens. If what Hamas did on Oct. 7th does not qualify as terrorism to her, then she should have explained what her definition of terrorism is.

One of Hamas' biggest successes has been convincing the West that they are a social justice movement instead of a terrorist organization. The only justice in Gaza is Sharia law. Women and men can be arrested for mingling together, women are forced to cover their bodies from head to toe, gay people are murdered, and anyone who tries to promote peace with Israel is jailed and tortured.
