That’s close to how I see it. Hamas is the duly elected government of Gaza. The people support Hamas in word, deed and money. I also take my responsibility as a citizen seriously too, particularly when our government abuses our rights at home and we have so many foreign misadventures without any real need.

But many of our fellow citizens - at least here in Europe - are of the opinion that you may elect any radical lunatic at all, but you do not have to bear any responsibility for the consequences.

On the other hand they do not understand individual responsibility for any actions at all, so what's the difference?
