if either of you want to go there I am sure we can get you there somehow to defend Hamas.

Bottom line the Israelis carved out an area for them to govern themselves, against their own opinion. The first thing they did was attack them. They lost the land that was given. IfI was Israel I would not be as kind as they have been.

I mostly agree, actually.  From 10,000 miles away, we can see ways that Israel might be able to behave better, and persuade more of the Arabs to lay down their arms and live in peace, But if I was living there, I probably wouldn't care. When people want to annihilate you, human nature demands that you respond by trying to annihilate them first. 

If there are Arabs living in Israel proper, or in the occupied territories, who genuinely want to peacefully coexist next to or within a Jewish state, I have sympathy for them. A lot of sympathy. I wish they had more control and more influence over the situation. But Hamas and its "river to the sea" ideology must be annihilated.

What is not understood by Americans is the Palestinian children for years have been raised and indoctrinated to radical Islamic principles. This has happened as they have been ruled by Hamas. Egypt took some in and for their trouble they got the Arab spring. Jordon was glad they left. The rest of the Arab world does not want them in their countries or bordering them if possible. I cannot see the Israelis allowing arms into Gaza ever again. It will be hard to get them to return Gaza at all.
