That's a very unbiased and excellent explanation but like you said, it's a very complex situation. The only thing I know is from what my father has always told me as he was in the Army based in Egypt around 1947 and that the way the Palestinians were treated by the Israelis was inhumane and appalling. The Palestinians have been virtual prisoners in their own land for years. Okay, so Hamas are a terrorist group and to be abhored but does that still give Israel the right to target innocent civilians? The IRA were terroists and did many sickening atrocities in the name of their cause but did we go in as ground troups and kill thousands of innocent people in the name of justice? It all to do with Israel wanting what they see is their land back and want to see Palestine obliterated off the face of the earth. Only my view and opinion of a very complex and dire situation.
