to put all blame on israel is a tesla-like argument-- "the conspiracy controls it all and everyone is a puppet of the conspiracy". if anything, ask egypt, where the smuggling tunnels go, but come on, to absolve hamas of any and all responsibility and putting it all on israel is delusional. and dangerous-- those who would revive the caliphate and launch a jihad against the west operate in your own country as well.

i'm not placing the blame entirely with israel, or absolving hamas, after all hamas fired the rockets, but how they manage to smuggle rockets and not food just raised some questions in my mind. obviously hamas are extremists, and dangerous, but at the same time the colonial attitude of the israeli government only serves to encourage hamas, which in turn encourages israel to massacre folks.
it would serve the popultion of palestine a lot better if they had a leader like Ghandi or MLK, but then it's easy for me to say that.
