If you can't trust genocidal terrorists, who can you trust?
Want Peace? Send Hamas more concrete now.
It is a "cycle of violence"... which will end if the Palestinians get more power.

1. Israel started it:

2. War Crime -- Israel should have provided Iron Dome to Hamas:

"U.N. condemns Israel, U.S. for not sharing Iron Dome with Hamas"

3. Israeli conspiracy: Hamas is innocent:

4. It is all an Israeli marketing campaign for Iron Dome:

"A war to market the Iron Dome"

5. Hamas: Democratically elected terrorists with hearts of gold:

"Understanding Hamas: part terrorism, part good works"

6. Hamas does not want to eradicate Israel; it is just frustrated by the occupation... that ended in 2005:

7. Want peace? Send Hamas more concrete now:

8. War Crime: Israel has bomb shelters & Gaza doesn't:

9. It is a "cycle of violence"... which will end if the Palestinians get more power:

"Moral clarity in Gaza"

10. No human shields, here... it is just that Gaza is small:

11. Apartheid!

"Israel and Apartheid: The Big Lie"

12. Genocide!

"Murder by Numbers"

13. Hamas: fighting for freedom:

14. PLO + Hamas "Unity Government" = bold step for peace:

"How to Fix It: Ending this war in Gaza begins with recognizing Hamas as a legitimate political actor."

15. Just critics of Israeli policies; no anti-Semitism here:

16. Israel - Not a partisan issue:

17. They must be good guys; Human Rights is in their name:

18. But UNWRA says:

"The UNRWA is Hamas"

19. If you can't trust genocidal terrorists, who can you trust?

"Palestinians Use Photos from Syria to Smear Israel Online"

20. It's the Occupation, stupid:

They believe this way because it is what the press feeds it to them. When do you hear the Gazans are provided humanitarian aid by Israel, the UN with UNWRA and other lesser Arab/Muslim aid (mostly their weaponry)? That they are well taken care of. How often do you hear the Gazans are held in an open prison which gives them justification to be terrorists? When is there mention of the Hamas charter to not only destroy Israel but kill the Jews, all the Jews? Rarely if ever.

I could not stop laughing when I read "Israel should have shared "Iron Dome" with Hamas.
All the other items are not new but this one is. It is actually entertaining and effectively amusing. Are those people (UN) from our planet?
Next step is UN will ask Israel: Why not share "Iron Dome" with ISIS, HizbAlla, Ansar Islam, Boko Haram and even Iran.
I work long hours and have no time to watch TV. So thank you UN for making me laugh.
PS. I am an Arab (not Jewish , not Israeli)

Great someone finally put together a concise, factual conglomeration of what the issues are truly about in the Hamas terror tirade against Israel. Rational people can learn from this. Leftists...not at all.
