Oh, the history of the area excuses terrorist action? Is that what you're going with? You're okay with Hamas murdering and brutalizing babies, because of the history of the area? Israel has to live under rocket fire and threats to their existence, because of the history of the area? As far as I'm aware, Hamas is the organization with a stated charter to destroy Israel and all Jews. You don't consider that ethnic cleansing? Doesn't seem like I'm the idiot here.
