Good for you. It takes courage to stand up and recognize that Hamas is like any other organization. It has good and bad. Good for you to decide that Hamas' resistence is not bad. After all, the three (literally) bantustans in occupied Palestine that we refer to as West Bank (north and south) and Gaza should be freed. A real viable solution is not a Palestine in three separate pieces. A real peace is one piece. One land, one people, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Athiest, all together, all for the sake of their communities. If enlightened westernized Jews going on the tag-lit birth right cannot understand that plurality is preferable to religious domination then that only shows only how much of a failure our social systems are. We are a tolerant society, so long as "they" are far from "us". I advocate us being an accpeting society, where they are acceptable AS us, and not TO us. That is my opinion
