The Luck of Hamas: It's Fighting "Wicked, Colonialist" Israelis, So the Media and Lefty Buffoons Like Pelosi Overlook Its Obvious Resemblance to Other Groups Waging Jihad

Jonathan S. Tobin writes:
While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other credulous liberals may believe the propaganda spewed by Hamas ally Qatar about it being a social welfare organization, the truth is that it is just as much a terror group as those more notorious groups that target Westerners and Americans. Though much of the Western media seems intent on sanitizing Hamas and ignoring its use of human shields, it needs no lessons in brutality from either al-Qaeda or ISIS, as the deaths of the Palestinians who have been killed for dissenting from their tyrannical rule of Gaza could attest. 
As is the case with ISIS, there is no compromising with Hamas. Just as the Islamist terrorists in Iraq and Syria will not be bribed or cajoled into giving up their goal of imposing their religiously inspired nightmare vision on the world, neither will Hamas be satisfied with anything less than the eradication of Israel and the genocide of its Jewish population. 
As with ISIS, there is no “political solution” to a conflict with Hamas, only a military one. So long as Hamas is allowed to remain in power in Gaza, there is no hope for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Like Osama bin Laden and those who seek to kill Americans today, Hamas operatives are fair game for targeted assassinations. While the aim of Israeli Defense Force strikes on Hamas targets may not be any more perfect than those of their American counterparts elsewhere, they provide the only answer to an ideology that can’t be appeased.
Here's the thing: I don't think the PA/Fatah ideology, which also aims to eliminate/eradicate Israel, can be appeased either. And to think that it can, and that there's wiggle room for negotiation and ultimately a peace deal with the likes of Abbas, is in its own way as delusional as the lefty belief that Hamas has its good points.

Update: Unlike other terrorism enterprises, Hamas gets a pass from Obama (because it's "Palestinian" and therefore sacrosanct).
