Seeing the light: Hamas' terror tunnels : Comments

By Glen Falkenstein, published 25/8/2014

But Hamas did not use this cement to build homes, hospitals, schools, community centres or bomb shelters; instead, they used it to protect their stockpile of weapons, artillery and rockets, and to facilitate attacks on Israeli civilian towns.

SteeleRudux,

True, Hamas was elected by Gazans in 2005 I believe. But would you call it a functional democracy? If as a Gazan I publicly supported peace with Israel and rights for all minority groups in Gaza and demanded that Hamas stop rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, would I be allowed that right to speak?

Isrealis CAN make similar advocacy without fear of arrest. But somehow I doubt Gazans can. Am I wrong?

If Hamas stopped the rocket attacks there would be peace. If Israel stopped its defensive actions there would eventually be no Israel. And no democracy in the Middle East!
