I should go and slap my wife in the head and kick my children!! Then again I should be wary since my relative nuked my family's relatives! Someone may get me!!!
Your uncle is either VERY old or just holding onto some historical grievance that really doesn't affect his life at all. Something tells me that your uncle didn't fire off a rocket into England and would never excuse such action at all. It is a very pathetic culture that uses past grievances to excuse any behavior. Hamas has no link to the Palestinian past of 1948 beyond the fact they are a Palestinian group. They are a Iranian fed terrorist group that wiped out their rivals in Gaza.
A very sorry culture that is!

I want to say thanks again for this post. Excuses for nationalist feelings are such bullshat.
