I have decided that the next few months will not be the most fun I've ever had, so I'm going to reward myself when they're over with. Namely, a vacation. I haven't taken a vacation in over two years, and I think it's overdue. Where? I'm not sure. I'm not going to blow tons of money on a vacation, but I'll have more than enough to have a nice one. I

I'm not questioning the validity of your points, I'm just pointing out an observation. Hamas is a terrorist organization, no doubt, but the Israeli's have done more than their share of contributing to the problems between Arabs and Jews in the region. The whole West Bank/ Gaza Strip occupation combined with the isolation of innocent Palestinian citizens is inexcusable. But I cannot agree with an organization, such as Hamas, that targets Israeli civilian targets, such as market places and busy streets not connected to the military at all.

There is no clear good guy in this scenario.

the so-called "Palestinians" are generally isolated b/c they choose to be. they can renounce their fight and live peacably among the Jews if they so choose. hell, they can even occupy government positions.

Israel walls them in. That isn't acceptable no matter what the justification. There is no "living among the Jews"... it's a myth. At checkpoints throughout Israel, Israeli soldiers force any and all Palestinians to be inspected. This is humiliating to them, whent he vast majority do nothing wrong. There is no "equality" in this situation.
