    I mean are you seriously surprised by those results? You can’t kill an idea, you can replace it with a better idea. But with such an indiscriminate bombing and an international community who is still saying that Israel has the high moral ground, they feel betrayed by everyone but Hamas.

    I don’t like it either, but I think the majority of the human beings in their situation would react the same? Do you believe that if Israel and Palestine were living in peace and everyone was treated equally and with respect, Hamas would have been a political factor?

      They’re betrayed by Hamas above all! Poor Palestinians have a government that’s trying to get them all killed for propaganda
