It's okay, most people who I know who argue about this don't either

Also in related news, Hamas condemned a visit by a Palestinian official to Auschwitz, calling it an "alleged tragedy" and saying in an article condemning the visit, "What is the wisdom in such a simple step that supports the Jews and their crimes?... Neither the Jews nor we believe that Hitler killed six millions Jews".

This makes me sad.

@IDFSpokesperson Hamas has turned #Gaza into a frontal base for #Iran, terrorizing residents of Israel&forcing them to live under unbearable circumstances

I wonder where people, in the first world, get the gall to say "Palestinians just need stop being violent".

I really think that it's ignorance. Or at least, I REALLY hope that it's ignorance.

The political history of the area is something even most of our elected politicians probably have no clue about it, and the ones that do have a clue tend to have been given the information via biased sources.

I know there are a few people who have a vested interest in painting the palestinians as violent and have a broad degree of knowledge on the topic. I prefer to think of these people as being uh. Well. Evil.

Most people I know are pissed off at Hamas, not Palestinians...
