    It’s fascinating that you felt the need to edit your comment because just addressing the facts in the present case wasn’t enough. Even though the facts might be true and despicable, you still need to make it clear what side you’re on, you can’t just say what you think is true.

      He didn’t say free hamas. Hama’s isn’t Palestine. Hamas hasn’t held an election for almost as long as the average Palestinian has been alive. Longer than they’ve been able to vote. Personally I’d like to see Palestine free of Israel and Israel’s creation hamas.

          The problem is Palestine as a whole doesn’t realistically support hamas. Saying that they do would imply that if they were given two equally viable choices they would choose hamas. The average age of a Palestinian is 18 to 19 years old. The last time Hamas held elections was 2005 2006. Most Palestinians have never actually had a choice. Hamas and their leadership is largely what they’ve been saddled with.

          If Israel stopped bulldozing Palestinian homes, and stealing land. Opened up Gaza so it wasn’t just an open air prison anymore. And actually provided a constructive path forward to actually benefit Palestinians. You might actually see a number of them defending an even supporting their benefactors.

          Would there still be terrorist attacks and innocent people losing their lives? All you have to do is look at the United States to know the answer to that. But their lives on the whole would be better and happier. It still wouldn’t be easy or overnight. But it’s the only real solution

        I didn’t say Hamas was Palestine, I didn’t say he said Free Hamas, I didn’t say anything about his point except the way he felt the need to inject it on the end of an otherwise complete and practically unrelated point.
