    If you want to get rid of Hamas, give Palestinians equal rights. Take away their cause. Make it convenient to give up the fight and choose peace.

    If you want to give Hamas more young men to fight for them, then steal their houses and blow up their mothers, sisters, and daughters.

    The current government of Israel? It’s on Hamas’ side. It’s creating new recruits for them every day. It’s giving them great material to turn into propaganda. It’s escalating the violence.
