      Sure but you try being killed and kicked out of your homes. I’m sure you would not like the people who are doing it either. Israel has created this mess.

        People forget Israel is the one with the power and creating this issue. If Israel actually backs off and treats Palestine as at least human, then I think (and hope) most people will see that Hamas needs to be destroyed as they are a terrorist group.

          Isn’t that exactly what Israel did when they left the Gaza strip in 2005? That’s the thing that lead to Hamas taking over in the first place.

            Didn’t that process of backing off continue until 2007, when the terrorist group Hamas took over and restarted the terror campaigns?

      Hamas kills anyone who doesn’t bow to them, including Palestinians.

      I mean if you live in a country controlled by a terrorist group that kills anyone who is not their side, and someone goes to your door and asks if you support them… What would you say?

      It’s easy to dismiss this issue by thinking they have the same freedom of speech as we do in the west, and they can have political opinions without any repercussion.

      Same can be said about north Korea.

      I think elections showed Vladimir Putin won with >90% of the vote.

      Kim Jong Un also seems to enjoy the support of his people.

      Hamas is the only group in this world standing up for the Palestinian people, so I would support them too, we’re I locked up in that open air prison, my family and friends being constantly murdered for profit.
