God, this is such childish logic. You think because you were born in a country you inherit some magical knowledge of the surrounding region's history?

Hamas' original 1988 covenant calls for the extermination of the Jews. You don't need to be born in the Middle East to know this. You literally could have spent five minutes on Google. In fact, the passage in their founding charter is taken directly from the Hadith:

"The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him"

You're from the Middle East. Don't you know this better than me??

The Jewish claim to Israel is written in the Bible:

Joshua 23:4: "Remember how I have allotted as an inheritance for your tribes all the land of the nations that remain—the nations I conquered—between the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea in the west."

You're from the Middle East. Don't you know this better than me??

I've actually lived in a kibbutz, so your certainty that I don't know about them (and about most of the other things you've written) is badly wrong. Have you ever lived in one? There are all kinds o people living in them, some, like me, who aren't Jewish. And almost all of them civilians. Besides, it wasn't just people in kibbutzes who were killed by Hamas.

You're from the Middle East. Don't you...ah, you get the idea.

Palestinians elected Hamas because they were tired of the conditions they were living under due to the blockade. yes. And also because the Palestinian Authority had done nothing for them. But that was in 2007. Since then, Palestinians have also suffered terribly under Hamas. They have been repeatedly denied the right to new elections. They effectively liveunder a dictatorship. So don't talk about what they've "chosen."

Just a couple of days ago, I saw a video of a Palestinian woman crying over the bodies of her children shouting "Those Hamas dogs did this." Because she understands, as anybody should be able to understand, that Hamas' actions were always going to lead to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians.

And I notice you didn't address this idiotic comment about there being no innocent Israelis. Where are yo from? Where are you living now? Are you willing to take on the guilt of everything your government has ever done? Do you consider yourself guilty? If so, what are you doing to make amends?
