Ah.... The "both sides" argument. Mossfern Sunday #94

The people in Gaza have no control over Hamas. The leaders of Hamas are not in Gaza. everyonematters Sunday #96

They can start by not abusing the Palestinians with things like the settlements and pushing people out of their homes. everyonematters Sunday #98

No. I researched the funding, board, and executive director. lapucelle Sunday #108
