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.
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.
You said the numbers were wrong because of the people who said it. Your argument was directed "at the man"--"ad hominem".
Countries get an equal vote regardless if they are corrupt dictatorships with abysmal human rights at home.
