Is it though? Israel is allowed to defend itself against Hamas. No doubt about that. However, they perpetuate the climate in which groups like Hamas thrive. You can’t put people on a small strip of land which is basically an open air prison and be surprised when groups like Hamas start to get into power.

You can remove Hamas or an adjacent group but as long as you keep those very same circumstances in place a new group will rise.

Not that surprising at all. Charlie Hebdo shooters were also raging alcoholics even though their own religion forbids it. As a matter of fact their own religion forbids even being in bars to begin with. But this type of scum isn’t exactly the type to adhere to the parts of his religion that don’t fit his agenda.
