@strongbow They have a right to defend themselves against terrorism.

@RocktheHouse Even when they're the ones creating the terrorists?

@BohemianBabe Yeah, The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is dire. However, Hamas is striking Israel with rockets - on a daily basis, and those rockets are paid for largely Iran. Israel has attempted several peace talks - Hamas has made it clear they will not rest until they are defeated or Israel is wiped off the face of the earth. Hamas will even use children, tie bombs to them. It's horrific. Hamas is evil. Israel isn't too much better. And the US wants to keep instability in the region. The US thinks by creating instability, it helps us.

@RocktheHouse But the only reason Hamas exists is because of the blockade.
Hamas is a terrorist group, no question. But they're also the only group that supplies most Gaza Palestinians with supplies such as medicine and food. So can anyone really blame the Palestinians for supporting Hamas?
If Israel ended the blockade and started treating Palestinians like human beings, support for Hamas would end.
