>> #FalseEquivalency. "ICC prosecutor compares Hamas to the IRA"

There's #FalseEquivalence, but even #SimonHarris, #Irish PM, compared #Hamas to #IRA.

Most significant difference between them is that one is #eliminationist while the other was not.

#TheTroubles were a conflict between #Catholics and #Protestants on whether to separate from #UK or remain.

That's not what Hamas is trying to do. Its charter calls NOT for a separate state from #Israel but Israel's destruction
