How about Post #17 in this thread:
"Why does anybody do anything that is radical, such as that of kidnapping a political figure? It is clear that a group is being repressed, and feeling like nobody is listening to them, so they resort to whatever can get their message across. The democratically elected Hamas government is not being recognized, and therefor they have to do whatever is in their power to try and get their message relayed."

You're defending them and their actions. While support may not be the right feeling, you're definitely not un-sympathetic to them and their cause.

Where have I said that I support Israel's statement?

Nope. I'm not agreeing to that at all.

I'm agreeing to the fact that people should be held responsible for their actions. In most Western worlds, that is through the courts. In the middle east, they obviously don't care about courts. The only language that they seem to understand is threats and action.

I don't agree with how Israel is going about this, but if it gets their message across then so be it. Isn't that basically how you worded it?
