Yes, if one does not agree with Duane Filan and his history by analogy, then
you are racist or a "moralist and sycophant" (?) and as Duane knows this list
is full of them. That's why he subscribes to it.
Maybe we can get more agreement on the question of how strong and
well-organized Yahya Sinwar left the Palestinian people and Gaza in their
struggle. That's one way to consider the legacy of his strategy and tactics.
