    How can you say that when there’s clear video evidence of many thousands of Palestinians cheering the carnage?

    Many Palestinians are absolutely complicit in the terrorism, but that doesn’t mean all are bad.

    As long as Hamas has the support of the people, and I’ve yet to see a single uprising or attempt, then it’s nearly impossible to separate civilians from terrorists.

    Israelis have been in the streets for months protesting their government, it’s very evident many Israelis don’t support Netanyahu, you cannot say the same about Palestinians though.

        If only Hamas had used the wealth they’ve been provided to develop the territory rather than turn it into a terrorist training camp.

        Their leaders are sitting on billions in Qatar, they receive enormous aid from around the globe and they use it for terrorism.

        The wall reduced terrorist attacks by something like 95%.

        Hamas is the reason Gazans live like they do. Egypt cut off access for the same reasons as Israel. Are you taking issue with their not providing water and fuel?

          I’m not defending Hamas. Hamas is shit. But Hamas exists because of Israel. Israel took Palestine’s land had continued to encroach on it ever since with illegal settlements

          Who do you expect to rise up in Palestine when half of the population is kids?

            Israel took Palestines land?

            Jews have lived in the region for thousands of years. Their returning to THEIR ancestral homelands isn’t stealing the land. I agree the settlements are inciting, the Palestinians have turned down a dozen peace deals that would have stopped them because they insist all Jews must die.

            If Palestinians won’t rise up against Hamas, Israel will do it for them. They sure have no problem finding people to take up arms against IDF soldiers.
