UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told a representative from Sky News on Wednesday that he did not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.

Asked about the feasibility of Israel’s military goal to eliminate Hamas and disallow the terrorist group from having any governing say in Gaza, Griffiths responded “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement. But, I think it is very very difficult to dislodge these groups without a negotiated solution; which includes their aspirations.

“I cannot think of an example offhand of a place where a victory through warfare has succeeded against a well-entrenched group, terrorist or otherwise.”

    Israel’s actions have nothing to do with my assessment of Hamas as a terrorist organization.

    I don’t remember saying “children”. Let’s check…nope, I used the word kids. They killed “kids” at a “music festival”. What you do at parties isn’t my business.

          Seriously, do you read anyone’s comments or do you just reply to people at random and just say random shit?

            You used the word fundamentalist in your comment to describe Hamas. Explain the word and how it applies to Hamas as you clearly have no idea what Hamas even is.

              Please read what I wrote, because you clearly did not read it. Either that or you’re just lying. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it’s the former.

      No those words mean exactly the same. Kids is short for children.

      So you have a source for children being killed there?

      Interesting how it is a music festival with children now instead of a drug rave.

        Where you from, Linkerbaan? Children is plural for child. A child is below the age of puberty. A kid is a young person. Get your terminology straight.

        Also, your behavior at parties and festivals is none of my business. I don’t care what you do as long as it doesn’t harm others.

          So aside from your amazing jargon, I’ll ask you the same question in your words:

          Where is the evidence of the children you claimed were killed at the music festival?

          You don’t ever seem to answer the actual question. Deflect dodge deflect dodge.

            Listen to you, reflecting upon dodges and deflections. If you can’t understand the difference between kids and children, there’s nothing more I can say.

                It amazes me when people like yourself dig the hold deeper and deeper, then wonder why it’s getting so dark all of a sudden.
