Rick Salutin at the Globe & Mail - Hamas record is 'complex'...

Rick Salutin just doesn't get it...check this out from today's Globe & Mail...
Later, I spoke to a Jewish friend who says that, when she reads news from Gaza, she gets sick to her stomach. I asked why. It's a mix, she said: Horror at what is done by Israel to the people of Gaza, and fear that her reaction lends support to a group, Hamas, bent on destroying Israel and killing Jews. I started to say Hamas's record is more complex than that, but it didn't really matter. These are issues where you lead with your emotions, and your reason fills in the tracks that your gut has laid down.
The charter of Hamas is quite clear - destruction of Israel and death to all Jews...what is complex about that?
