At the Boston Globe, the extreme Left-hand is clueless to the more extreme Left-hand.
The following is an excerpt from the Boston Globe's lead editorial from June 14, Senseless in Gaza, an editorial bemoaning the Palestinian-on-Palestinian violence: "The Hamas campaign to eradicate Fatah from Gaza is certainly not the sole cause of Gazans' misery. They long suffered from Israel's suffocating occupation, and then from Ariel Sharon's foolishly unilateral withdrawal in 2005, a move that allowed Hamas to bid for power with the misleading claim that its rockets and suicide bombings had driven Israeli soldiers and settlers out of Gaza."
Why would the anti-Israeli Boston Globe not solely blame Palestinian terrorists for the misery of Gazans when the Boston Globe can take a gratuitous shot at Israel?
"Occupation (the anti-Israeli revisionists winning the propaganda war)" is a crime; "unilateral withdrawal" is a crime. Hmmm, what's a Jew to do?
Sharon unilaterally gave people their freedom and independence and territory and he's being attacked by the Boston Globe. Only committed anti-Israeli idiots could believe such jive.
Substitute Bush for Sharon, al Qaeda for Hamas and Iraq for Gaza and let me know if you think the Boston Globe would be so harsh on President Bush if he suddenly withdrew from Iraq.

of course, the Globe would be harsh on Bush because he can't do anything right, even when he gives them exactly what they're asking for! You're point is well-taken, though.
such is the quandry of a leftist. It's not about individual responsiblity. it's about government protecting individuals from themselves. In this case the only legitimate government to blame is Israel. Hamas and Fatah aren't interested in governing...their cause is extorting sympathy (read $) from the uninformed. Where are the other arab states in helping their bretheren in Gaza ? All the oil $$ in Iran would be better spent on humanitarian aid to arab brothers instead of sowing war in Lebanon or blowing up American warriors. duplicitous terrorists that they are. And where would the Globe be if Israel rightfully took back land their land?
