OK Mr. Bigot, What is your excuse for the actions of your darling Israelis before Hamas came to power after defeating Fatah in elections in 2006 and militarily in 2007?

Hamas has only existed since 1987, twenty years after Israel occupied Gaza.

Hamas is a terrorist organisation right enough and as evil as any other.

The name Hamas is an acronym of "Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamat al-Islāmiyyah, meaning "Islamic Resistance Movement".

Resistance against WHAT?

Could it possibly be against Israel's ongoing occupation of the West Bank and Gaza?

Israel's establishment of (according to the UN) illegal settlements on Palestinian land?

You would have been the first to call the 1940s French Maquis heroes, and they were fighting against an occupying army, yet you would deny that Hamas started out as exactly the same type of organisation.
