According to historical facts; The Palestinians, and small minority groups of Jewish and Christian people lived in Palestine peacefully. But then the British took control of Palestine and the Zionists brought masses of Jewish people there, creating new settlements which took away more and more of the Palestinian land. The Palestinians were understandably against the Zionists taking over their territory.
In order to avoid battles; all the Zionists had to do is be kind and considerate and respectful of the rights of the Palestinian people on their own Palestinian lands. But they weren't - they aimed to take over all of Palestine and get rid of the Palestinians, stealing their homes and businesses and lands. So, fighting began ad has continued, because Israels violent occupation has continued and the Palestinian people have been resisting the invasion/"occupation" and have been striking back against Israel's violence.
In Palestine there was understandably a growing hatred toward Israel, due to the loss of their land and the displacement of masses of their people and the mass murders of their families, including large amounts of children, and more recently, the horrid conditions they had been entrapped in on the little Gaza strip of land surrounded by tall walls and Israel controlled borders. The Palestinians are literally fighting for their lives and their freedom from an inhumane and horribly unjust situation that has been happening for over 75 years. Even anti-war and peace loving people like myself can understand why the Palestinians have resort to acts of violence against their violent controlling oppressors - Israel. Most human beings can only take so much abuse before striking back.
All Israel had to do, in order to prevent the "Hamas attacks," phase of this battle, is set the Palestinian people free from the hell they had them trapped in, and be kind and considerate and fair and honest... and let them have a fair share of their own land back and let them gain independence on their own land. But Israel didn't and its supporters didn't.
Israel's initial proposals, for the UN's "two state solution" plan, were not fair to the Palestinian people. And the revised ones were never signed because hell broke loose each time they were about to be signed. This has happened at least two times. I suspect that Israel intentionally provoked, or orchestrated, "Hamas attacks" each time they and the Palestinian leaders, were about to sign the peace agreements. It appears that Israel has wanted to remain in complete control, and not give ang of Palestine back to the Palestinian people, and has not wanted them to form their own independent state. And Hamas and the Palestinian people had nothing to gain by not signing the peace agreements and everything to lose. But Israel blames Hamas for the peace agreements not being signed.

The problem that exists today started with past mistakes by the British and Zionists leaders who had far too little consideration for the Palestinian people. Them taking over Palestine and turning it into Israel, and Israel's continued brutal violence against the Palestinian people in their aim to gain and retain complete control of all of the Palestinian land was just too wrong. Israeli leaders and their supporters have brutally murdering and injured and displaced and intentionally deprived masses of Palestinian people through the past few decades. Hamas has sought vengeance through small periodic attacks, but the results have been VERY small compared to what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians. The saddest part is that Israel is still doing it today, and they are blaming Hamas for it, even though they were doing it long before Hamas existed.
In an AP news report, a Hamas leader said that the peace talk and two state solution approach “got more settlements, more violations, more killing. So I think that it is now logical that the use of the resistance is legal against the occupation. And there is no space now to talk about peace with Israel or about a two-state solution or to talk about coexistence.” The Palestinians want their country back and for the Zionists to completely relinquish control. Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas whom they want the whole world to think are nothing but terrorists who should all be killed and it looks like they will not stop the violent massacres of the Palestinian people. In the past couple weeks, Israel has killed about eight thousand Palestinian people, almost half of them children, as they invade and bomb the Gaza strip.
Israel has the world thinking that Hamas is just a horrid terrorist group that kills for no reason. "Condemn Hamas," they demand, but what they are really demanding is that we all join their side and agree with them retaining complete control of Palestine and what is left of the suffering and wounded Palestinian people whom they treat like animals in the Gaza "prison camp."
The Palestinians have never stood much of a chance, in their desperate fight to keep their land and regain their freedom, because Israel is the one who has had the most help from the rest of the world, and Israel is the only one who has had the freedom to grow and thrive and build huge armies and defense systems...etc. What is wrong with this picture?

WHERE IS THE COMPASSION AND CONSIDERATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE FOR OVER SEVEN DECADES NOW? WHERE IS IT NOW?
Unfortunately its not in the leaders of Israel and they are still manipulating things, and fabricating things, in order to prevent help from coming from other places, while they terrorize and massacre yet another bunch of Palestinian people.
The Palestinian/Arab people should matter just as much as the Jewish and Zionist people, especially in their own lands. They should have in the 1940s. They should have since then. And they should now.
There is no valid excuse for what Israel has done to the Palestinian people. Its VERY wrong and it should be immediately stopped. The Palestinian people are not the worthless "animals" that Israel views them as and treats them like! They are valuable human beings with human rights that should be respected, no matter how wounded or ill-behaved some may have become after being treated so horribly for too long.
EVERY human being should be allowed to have safety and freedom and all other basic human rights. And humanity should find the heart to provide the peace and compassion and consideration that enables this for the Palestinians and everyone else who does not have it.
I hope Israel's leaders are immediately forced to do right by the Palestinian people and find their hearts. I hope everyone, on both sides here in America, strive to keep the peace and understand that, on the Israeli side, most Jewish and other Israeli citizens are just innocent bystanders who deserve compassion...and that on the Palestinian side, most Palestinian people are not "Hamas terrorists" and are even more in need of compassion and comfort, at this time.

Remember our statue of Liberty, that holds up a strong Light, to guide foreigners into the safe harbor. This is what America has always stood for to me; not just the flag or the patriotic songs, but a free and safe place. Let’s make it free and safe, and do the same for Palestine.
Some current maps on the web no longer show Palestine, because it and its people have been being slowly wiped out. It’s hard to believe that such a thing could be happening in today’s day and age, but it has been and it must be stopped.
