Guess we're going to have to agree to disagree, BQ. For starters, I contend that the Real IRA did nothing without tacit approval from the IRA. The IRA had too much control for a splinter group to act with impunity for long. Say what you will, I will never swallow as plausible that the IRA didn't know and approve what the so-called splinter groups were up to, any more than I will accept as plausible that the rockets coming out of Gaza in the past few days weren't ordered directly by Hamas leadership.
Guess I'm just not all that bright. You see, to me, when Hamas fires rockets at Israel, that would mean Hamas is culpable. But I respect the posters who've spoken in this thread. They're intelligent, wise and considerate. And they claim to be objective and unbiased on this matter. And they declare that its Israel's fault that Hamas is violating the cease-fire, so I am certain it must be so.
Although, I do have to thank you all for a new level of euphemism with your self-description as objective and unbiased.![]()
