Basically my opinion from what I've been reading, the actual Palestinians have been treated like shit, by Israel government, for decades. Hamas is a group of militants that sold themselves to the Palestinians as their,,, protector's. And that's why they gained power. But their extreme behavior, is not what 90% of Palestinians agree with. But they certainly are not happy the way the Israelis treat them. It's a simplistic explanation, from what I've read. But we have to understand, we're not going to get the real story from staunch members of either side if,,,they are so religiously into their beliefs via religion. No more than Catholics and Protestants agree on their religious beliefs.
So we can easily condemn Hamases actions, we have to understand the treatment the Palestinians have been put through as well.
I certainly do not, know the whys. No more than we can understand the treatment of the slaves in early America. But I have a feeling it may be a similar treatment.
From what I've read, Palestinians are treated like laborers. With no chance for a better life. And is it any wonder they turn to a bunch of thugs, as kinds like Union organizers.
