My data is based on the internationally recognized fact that Hamas is terrorist organization by USA, Commonwealth, EU, Japan and others. Which means they (Hamas) are liars.
Journalist's data is based on the empty words of the said terrorist org.
I don't know about you, but I feel very confident in my opinion based of this data.
PS: also you don't know what ad hominem means and confuse it with regular criticism. I've never attacked journalist's personal life or inividual traits or even his unrelated articles.
Whatever tickles your fancy. You can take side of almost 40 civilized countries, topping the charts of human freedom, education, quality of life, intellectual pursuits, research etc. or the side of Axis of Losers, like Ruzzia, Iran, Best Korea, Venezuela etc. Your choice.
Around a hundred of the countries didn't designate Hamas as terrorists, but neither they support them, they are simply neutral and ignoring the issue.
And btw, your count is wrong. There are only 205 countries at all, plus or minus a handful maybe. Almost 40 of them designated Hamas as terrorists, so that leaves less than 200, not more.
