Supporting the Lesser of the Two Evils

It’s rather surprising that normal intelligent people can lose it and support the “moderate” Fattah against the extreme Hamas. That’s like choosing between Hitler and Stalin y.s.v..
Any weapons given to one will eventually fall into the hand of the other, and ultimately be used against Israel. The only difference between the two is that one wants to behead us with a knife, while the other wants to blow our head off with a hand grenade. I’m not sure which is the more “moderate.”
The Fattah forces that were armed by the West collapsed like a hot-air balloon with Hamas taking all their weapons.
There seems to be something totally wrong with our way of thinking in our war against terrorism. There are no partial solutions or middle path. Every small child is a future terrorist. It’s not a game of catch where one can stand on a base and be safe. It’s a real war and nothing less. There is no time out for the terrorists to rearm themselves. Threats or annihilation must be given full credence and not be brushed aside as empty rhetoric as was done before World War Two. One must take the offense and not wait for the “world” to come to our aid as we have foolishly done in the past. The only peace agreement that lasts is the one made with those resting in the cemetery.
