Hamas may not have created the conditions in Gaza, but they have done nothing to improve the conditions of the average residents there. Instead of spending money to buy rockets to launch at Israel, they should invest their money in improving the living conditions for their local population.

That's pretty much what they call intolerance. Some of that is alive and doing well in the USA too.

In the hours following 9/11/01, Muslims were rounded up and attacked for no other reason than for being Muslims.

Last I checked it's Muslims going around bombing marathons, ramming air planes into sky scrappers, blowing up school children, and cutting peoples heads off.

Even though this response was meant for someone else. I'm in Israel at least twice a year and also the numerous Arab countries that surround it. When I'm in Israel I rent a pickup and drive nearly everywhere which includes the West Bank. The only times I've seen any type of abuse as you mention has been staged by Pallywood. I've never seen a situation without a bunch of cameramen there to watch it since it was pre-planned. If you are talking about checkpoints, they are no worse than spending a few hours in a TSA line waiting to be frisked.

So what are the Palestinians going to do now since now their welfare check, and rockets, has been cutoff from Iran?

I totally agree.
I'll add, I'd like to see Israel act more like their own country than an appendage of the
United States.
That includes NOT giving them yearly foreign aid or having our leaders promise our military
sons and daughters to fight their battles.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that people in Gaza hate Jews and not just Israel. Survey indicates that pretty much everyone hates jews, and wouldn't mind another holocaust.

It's no wonder people hate jews when they have things like this on television. Imagine if this was on Jewish television directed against muslims. It would cause a massive uproar. But when Muslims does it, then its okay.

Hamas TV show has Gaza children sing praises of suicide bombing - YouTube

I bet a six pack most American black folk are less worried what Palestinians think of them, than the scumbags here do.

American sons and daughter have never fought or died in Israel's battles.

Hamas was democratically elected (not once, but twice) by the people in Gaza. They deserve every hardship they created.
