In reply to the discussion: A top U.N. official says Hamas is 'not a terrorist organization,' sparking furious backlash from Israel [View all]LeftInTX

This is a thread about the UN. They are stating that Hamas is not a terrorist group.
I find that disturbing. They are a terrorist group.
Muslims aren't better than Jews or Christians.
They were many Christian Palestinians, but their numbers are dwindling.
Heck, Yasser Arafat's wife was a Christian. ( Suha Daoud Tawil)
Sirhan Sirhan was also Christian.
I don't know if Palestinians really see themselves as "brown", as much as displaced (That is the start of the conflict in the 1940s, but Palestinians refused their own state too, because they would lose their property)
Israel isn't fighting Hamas because they're brown and Muslim or somehow disadvantaged because of it.
And they weren't displaced in the 1940s because they were brown and Muslim. They were displaced because the UN created two states.
