If people commit a horrendous act in the name of a group but the group leader(s) denies their involvement how can we determine the truth? It many ways it might be how we define development but there are some common threads (below) that can help us decide if they truly are culpable.
(1) Has the leadership preached hatred and violence against those they oppose?
(2)Is leadership actively involved in recruiting and training it’s members?
(3) Does that training include and “education” deal with developing skills to violently attack those they oppose?
(4) Has this group informed authorities of individuals in their group that have snapped and are likely to commit a violent act?
(5) Has the leadership send payment to those or their families that have committed violent acts?
This is why Hamas, and Bill Ayers must be held accountable for the heinous acts individuals in their groups have committed.
