Apologists for Hamas should repudiate lack of morality

42. This conflict is the inevitable outcome of a political situation in which an entire sector of the

population has no effective recourse for the wrongs done against them. In a civilized society if the government bulldozed an entire neighborhood, forcibly evicted the inhabitants and then built brand new homes for settlers from another sector, then the aggrieved parties could make their case in court and likely win if their cause was indeed just.

The Palestinians have no such recourse. The Israeli Government ignores their claims. The U.S. vetoes any attempt by Palestine to gain recognition by the U.N. They have been denied the opportunity to win their case through diplomatic or legal channels, so they resort to asymmetric warfare. Taking someone's land is an exceptionally provocative action.

I'm not saying that Palestinian violence is justified, but that it is an expected outcome from the conditions created for them by the Israeli Government.
