What makes you think I don't accept that Hamas leaders represent Gazans? I've posted on this topic going back further than my interactions with you, and described the Gazan population as the authors of their own misfortune by electing a Hamas leadership. In my interactions with you I've also stated that a Palestinian state should not be recognised unless and until they produce a leaderhip capable of negotiating then administering a meaningful peace. That doesn't mean that I then must also believe Israel gets a blank cheque because they experienced an atrocity.
