Again you try to simplify the argument and don't have the depth of knowledge to carry it off. The IRA was not part of a coalition that was trying to destroy England or the rest of the UK.
Hamas is part of the coalition of Arabs who want to wipe Isreal off the map.
What are you talking about ? What arab coalition. It is a palestenian group and party which has a military wing just like the IRA did, and want the same thing as IRA did. End of occupation of its lands.
Do you want me to requote the Arab leaders who openly spoke and speak about the destruction of Israel? Check the hisory from 1947 on and how many times Arab nations have attacked Israel.
And Hamas want the destruction of Israel, not 'their lands back'.
From the Hamas Covenant;
'Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will
obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.'

You should read the article that Curt posted.
