Really? So you don’t blame Hamas, who received tens, even hundreds of millions of dollars in donations and aid, who then promptly put it towards tunnels and rockets? You don’t blame Hamas, for locating themselves amidst their own civilians? Like I said - your bias, ignorance and bigotry. Hilarious.

Gaza isn't big enough for Hamas to separate itself from civilians. But I'm sure you already knew that. The Palestinians can't resist Israeli aggression without tunnels and rockets. So, there is nothing wrong with them spending money on such things. It's unfortunate that Palestinians in the West Bank don't have the same opportunity.

If you can't separate yourself from the civilians, don't do something to endanger the very citizens you are supposed to protect. Don't do something to jeopardize the support they get from Israel while you steal all the aid. And don't be someone who blames Israel for what Hamas does - unless, of course, you suffer from bias, ignorance and bigotry.

When the only alternative is continued oppression and subjugation, there is no one who can fairly criticize Hamas for what it has done. Should the American colonists have rolled over and played dead in the face of much less oppressive conditions under the British? You would have said "yes", and then fled to Canada once the fighting started.

But that wasn't the only alternative. Israel actually permitted Gazans to enter and work in Israel. And the aid provided could have built the Gazans a completely different life. It was the Gazans' and Hamas's stupidity - reflected, sadly, in so many of your comments - that was the reason why the Gazans suffer.
