Hamas or Israel ? America Shouldn't Take Sides

The Palestinians elected Hamas. The Israelis say the group is dedicated to Israels destruction. But Hamas has stuck to a self-imposed truce with Israel for over a year. This indicates a door of possible dialogue left open. The Palestinians are saying to Israel that turnabout is fair play. Israel, with Americas help, wiped Palestine off the map by a rigged 1947 UN vote. Since that time-58 years ago- Israel has refused to allow a Palestinian state, allow the return of refugees or share Jerusalem. Also Israel has used American armaments including laser-guided bombs in Palestinian urban areas for targeted assasinations. Whose the more terrorist? And so with Palestinians denied hope and their own land the suicide bomber is born . He wants to deny Israelis in turn of hope and land.

Bush/Cheney/Rice have said that America will not deal with Hamas. What happened to the spread of liberty through democratic elections? Americas security interests needs peace with Hamas and the rest of the Muslim nations. Those countries have more to offer the US than Israel does.
