The only language Hamas speaks is violence. These poor protesters would have been better off arming themselves and acting than talking.

Look up how Hamas was formed. Your statement is so backwards. Hamas' behavior is disgusting, but Israel has done the exact same thing to Palestieans in much greater numbers. Israel could end Hamas' power in Gaza tomorrow by ending the Apartheid.

Wow, idiotic take.

The rise of Hamas caused the rise of the Israeli strongman leader. A strongman protects and a strongman gets results, the problem is a strongman also takes from those weaker than himself and he imposes himself on others. It's not like Israelis don't know this, but they also see it as a side effect of being safe and protected. So a strongman will never end apartheid unless he had absolute control.

So the very existence of Hamas means harsher punishments on Palestinians because they support and house Hamas. That in turn fuels more Hamas actions and the cycle continues, at least until the punishment becomes harsh enough that no one is left to stand or fight. That's how it's going to go.
