Noa wrote of talking to Gazans who told her how they feared Hamas, and how Hamas made their lives miserable.

It's arrogant to ignore this and maintain that decent Palestinians have no choice but to accept all that is Hamas, Sharia Law, brainwashing and forcing 'martyrdom' on women and children, etc. It's morally reprehensible to IGNORE decent Palestinians who support Fatah over Hamas, for no other reason than not wanting to live under Taliban conditions.

God forbid anyone dare point the finger at Hamas as they do with ANY fanatically religious regime (Taliban, Saudi regime, Iranian mullahcrasy) that makes life miserable for its chattle citizens. As we know, Hamas is sooooo much different than those groups. They're just a poor little national liberation movement forced by Israel to act very badly.

Gee, Israel could use that argument too - and it would be far more compelling. Israel is just not as dovish as they would be due to those extremists in charge of the Palestinian territories. They are the "son" of that monster, not the monster itself.
