I tried to speak with local Gaza activists about this last year, but all they would do was blame Israel and the U.S. for what's going on. You would have thought Hamas didn't even exist.

Yes, I want peace for the entire region and I want the people of Gaza to rebuild their society--a society that includes rights for all residents and hope for a brighter future.
