Canadian Islamic Association Wants to Remove Hamas and Hezbollah from Canada's Terrorism List. MR Agrees!

Judeoscope has a story up about the ongoing efforts by the Canadian Islamic Association (last seen organizing a Quebec rally where marchers swore oaths of loyalty - to death - to Nasrallah) to get Hamas and Hezbollah removed form Canada's list of terrorist organizations. And really, what has Hamas or Hezbollah done in the last couple of months that would justify those labels... other than kidnapping journalists and murdering civilians in order to advance political agendas?
Judeoscope also picks up on the not so subtle Jew baiting going on: "the CIC claims the listing of the two Islamic terrorist groups was ‘dictated by special interest groups’... opposed to ‘peace with justice’" It's must be the Canadian version of the Israel Lobby! Quick - somebody put Walt and Mearsheimer on the scent.
Listen, we'll take the stand that we always take when these efforts come up: we fully support removing Hamas and Hezbollah from the list of terrorist organizations, since we consider them (as the leaders of the Palestinian Authority and as members of the Lebanese government) to be state entities for the purpose of international law. That would make their cross-border raids not terrorism, but acts of war committed in the name of the people they represent.
