How Liberals Argue: Hamas Has a Right to Exist

Bah. 1st, according to our constitution, individuals have rights, not groups except as far as individuals have a right to organize. Of course this is meaningless here. Since Hamas supports lobbing missiles into Israel, Israel has a right to defend itself and if it so chooses, it may go to war against them. In this case, rights really don't matter. Forced into war, they should fight to win an incontrovertible victory and ideally eliminate or completely decimate their opponent. Minimally, they should continue pounding them until they receive an unconditional surrender. Unfortunately, this requires leaving in place some semblance of leadership structure in Gaza to surrender.
