Hamas (حماس Ḥamās, an acronym of حركة المقاومة الاسلامية Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamat al-Islāmiyyah, meaning "Islamic Resistance Movement") is a Palestinian Islamic organization with a socio-political wing[5][6] and a paramilitary force, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.[2][3] After winning 76 of the 132 seats in the Palestinian Parliament in the January 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections,[7] and defeating rival Palestinian party Fatah in a series of violent clashes, since June 2007 Hamas has governed the Gaza portion of the Palestinian Territories.
The US plotted to overthrow the democratically elected Hamas government in the Palestinian territories, documents obtained by Al Jazeera reveal.
But, when that plan failed, the US set up an operation to fund Fatah fighters and drive Hamas out.
In Cairo, Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, justified the arming of Fatah, saying the situation had called for it.
The US has openly supported Fatah and after Hamas seized control of Gaza in June 2007, the US announced an $80m funding deal for Fatah's security services in the West Bank.
The Palestinian people could have had a Peace deal that would have given them 91% of the West Bank, the Gaza strip and East Jerusalem, but misery pays more than Peace.

There is a difference between hating a government and hating the people forced to follow that government. You have no argument to support yourself so you just pull out this BS to try and make it look like this person hates Jews which they stated they didn't.

And that is your response. Instead of responding with any sort of cogent argument, you issue a summary dismissal.

Yeah, he did say he hated the Zionist agenda. Is that the same as hating Jews, no. Does every single Jew follow Israel's Zionist agenda, no. That's why I say there was no reason to insult him like that.

I'll say it again. Both states are officially democratic. Both peoples elected their government. There are hardly innocents left in those lands. They are getting just what they voted for. Let them learn the hard way then.
