As already has been noted in this thread, Palestinians enjoy a life expectancy as good as or better than many of their arab neighbors. Many of them are able to work within Israel and recieve Israeli health care. Under the 'Isreali Occupation' of the past ten years, the Palestinian population has grown over 30%.
Of course almost everything that Mr. Hedges says is merely opinion or personal conjecture. Meanwhile, instead of making things up about Hamas, we know for a FACT that they refuse to aknowledge to existance of any Jewish state. We know for a FACT that Hamas calls for the extermination of all jews within their charter. We know for a FACT that every modern western country in a world considers them terrorists and murderers.
I know which side I am inclinded to believe.
