MDG -“notice I said “a sovereign Arab country”. Terrorist groups can cause lots of destrution of life and property, but they can hardly bring down a country, especially one that is prepared to deal with them.”
I honestly don’t understand your differentiation. I see No difference between Hamas and any other Arab country. The difference is Israel is the one who gave Gaza to the Arabs.
They function like their own country -with Gov, army, etc.
There is the same amount of threat from these terrorists than there is from “sovereign Arab countries”.
And btw, the last I heard – Lebanon was a “sovereign Arab country” and the Lebanon war was Not on your list.
