 Israel is supposed to be a Western Democracy and shouldn't be put in the same level as Hamas, a terrorist organization. The massacres of Hamas aren't excuse for what Israel is doing, killing thousands of innocent people. Besides, if we would live for decades oppressed by Israel we would all support Hamas. After having your family killed, jailed, abused, anybody would become radical when have nothing to loose. The same way anybody who lives for decades oppressed in Iran would support an overthrow of their government. I can be neutral enough to be able to criticize at the same time China, USA, EU, Israel, Iran and Russia, I hate them all (the governments of course, not the people).
