To be clear, I view Hamas as terrorists who just carried out an atrocity


against unarmed civilians. They can go to hell.

The blame I place on Israel is in creating a cycle of poverty, violence, and disenfranchisement where otherwise decent people turn to groups like Hamas.

It tends to be the story wherever there is sectarian violence and an oppressed group that knows if they fight fair they get steamrolled, be it there, Northern Ireland, Turkey, Chechnya, etc. The way people are forced to live in Gaza and what happens with these settlements, it’s not surprising to see Palestinians turn to violence.

But fully agree talking about a Palestinian “one state” as the only acceptable outcome or attacking civilians to goad Israel into a war that they can try to expand is not something for any decent person to support.
