    Ill give you my two cents:

    Palestinians are justified in fighting Israel until that occupation is no longer considered a country, however, the Hamas are committing atrocities against civilians, leading many to refer to them as terrorists. The argument for the Hamas (not all Palestinians) is that Israel has committed atrocities against Palestinians for almost a century, while being backed by the most powerful countries in the world, and that retaliation from the Hamas is justified.

    Personally, I’m happy to see anyone resisting Israel, and don’t believe any political compromise (although preferable) will cut it except the dissolution of Israel.

      Best summary I’ve seen so far. I hope one day that Palestinians will be free from living under a fascist government. I just don’t think the terrorist local government is the right vessel for change. Call me naive, but I miss PLO.
