Why do conservatives advocate freedom... will fight and die for freedom... but think these guys shouldn't fight back?

i don't think anybody is saying they can't fight back, but if they do, there will be repercussions (that suck)

i'm not pro-israel or pro-palestinian. i'm definitely anti-Hamas, though. i will admit that

the issue is that at teh end of the day, whoever is strong enough will make the rules. in this instance, that is israel. if the palestinians wants to fight, they has the right to. if they fire from civilian areas, those areas are now military targets. they can't play it both ways, advocating for war while acting like there are these rules they can take advantage of. they can't support (politically) or defend (indirectly) terrorists like Hamas and then act like there will be no reprecussions. if the civilians want peace, they need to start by executing every member of Hamas, then asking Israel for peace. i bet you if they did that, the majority of their problems would go away within 2 generations (assuming they maintain their anti-terrorist and fundamentalist stance)
