I agree. I think it's wrong to have such a political party represent an entire country. Now instead of calling a minority of Palestinians "terrorists," Palestine will be defined as "home of the terrorist nation."
Hamas are willing to work as hard and as fast as they can to stir up more shit and rile Israel up. This will not make the US happy. And we all know what happens when the US is not only unhappy, but ignored and eventually threatened.
The US has a lot on its plate right now. That's 2 extremely controversial political groups leading 2 countries (Palestine and Iran) that might get the US in trouble in terms of the reputation it might get from outsiders, such as the case with Iraq. This is where it gets tricky.
If the US really wants to be safe at this point, it would speak softly and carry a big stick, as the saying goes.
