You say, Imran, that Hamas' recent restraint (the cease fire, the quiet chatter about negotiation) is a de facto recognition of Israel.
Then you mock the idea that (as I put it) "having a charter that calls for the destruction of the country, having a history of terrorist attacks against the country, AND refusing to alter the charter or recognize the country is a de facto declaration of war."
Seems like a double standard to me. You stretch the hell out of the meaning of de facto for your argument, and then narrowly define it to counter mine. Bah, I say!
