I appreciate your courteous response.

I hope you can give the following some thought: I think if you were left orphaned, and had been frequently humiliated and beaten on the streets by israeli police/military/settlers, you would also fight back, as the Hamas youth are doing.

This is why, every people under occupation/invasion end up physically resisting - and why Nelson Mandela was jailed for his refusal to bow to white rule, why Muhammed Ali, the boxer, was jailed for refusing to give his loyalty to the White Empire, and go wage war on the Vietnamese.

As someone of Indian heritage like myself, you will surely be aware of our heroes like Surya Sen whose teeth were smashed with a hammer, and his nails pulled out, before he was killed - and why ? For resisting British domination and exploitation of Indian people, they who had already caused the deaths of millions of Indian people by starvation.
