is it that simple? we are outside observers and it is easy to claim stuff from distance. Palestinian can not even find empty ground to bury their dead anymore. so maybe they have no chance for objective and peaceful opinions on the subject. to judge Hamas, IMO, you have to consider where they are coming from
.
Lava its not simple but the simple fact is the Hamas Charter represents their ideology and its full of rubbish and hatred:
The Forces which Support the Enemy Article Twenty-Two
The enemies have been planning expertly and thoroughly for a long time in order to achieve what they have achieved, employing those means which affect the course of events. They strove to accumulate huge financial resources which they used to realize their dream. With money they have taken control of the world media - news agencies, the press, publishing houses, broadcasting services, etc. With money they sparked revolutions in various countries around the world in order to serve their interests and to reap profits. They were behind the French Revolution and the Communist Revolution and [they are behind] most of the revolutions about which we hear from time to time here and there. With money they have formed secret organizations, all over the world, in order to destroy [those countries'] societies and to serve the Zionists' interests, such as the Freemasons, the Rotary Clubs, the Lions, the Sons of the Covenant [i.e. B'nei B'rith], etc. All of these are organizations of espionage and sabotage. With money they were able to take control of the colonialist countries, and [they] urged them to colonize many countries so that they could exploit their resources and spread moral corruption there.
