No. They really don't. It's pretty fucked up what Hamas just did. But it didn't come from a vacuum. Those people and their families have lived there for centuries. Before a bunch of Western powers came in occupied, and then decided to kick them out of their own territories. Off their own lands. Give it to people who hadn't been there in living memory at the very best. Violence begets violence and it's been that way ever since the start of this situation. Unfortunately however. Israel is going to have to be the bigger person here. Because they're not the ones trapped in a blockade of Israel's design with the help of other Middle Eastern Nations.
