The Author has labelled Hamas as terrorist, and no where it is mentioned that Palestinians were freedom fighters, to regain their land back from Israel. I would call them 'freedom fighters' rather than terrorist. Fateh led by Yasser Arafat, was corrupt and squandered the dreams of Palestinians, and their options was to go with hardliners, looking for change - and that too in an election supervised by the West to ensure democractic values. These people have suffered for too long, and cycle of history is turning in their favour now. Israel, with American backing is the agressor here, and I cannot understand why this writer is potraying the Palestinians as terrorist. In history, anywhere in the world, you cannot opress and destroy a population for too long, because freedom fighters are born naturally to reverse and confront the aggressor. Taking a look back, Israel should have been satisfied that they got a land for themselves, but their selfish motive to capture more land and annahilate the Palestinians from their own soil, have created this trouble. Thank our stars that Americans and British, did not thrust these settlers in our land !! Probably we would have been branded as .....
