What I find most interesting is that the people that protest against Israel and try to portray Hamas as some sort of victim (and Jews as genocidal murderers) are IMO making things worse for the Palestinians. Instead of telling Hamas to negotiate or lay down weapons, or simply to never use violence, they encourage it. The use of violence has only made the people worse off. Imagine for even a second if Israel was launching missiles against a peaceful group, there is not a single person out there that would support them. Additionally, Israeli's would not be afraid to allow the free movement within their borders of the Palestinian people.
