I never gave justification for a single thing they did. If you claim that I did, then please point out the post number and quote where I said they were justified for what they did.\
I simply have pointed out over and over that Israel's strategy is not protecting their people, but instead actually helping Hamas grow stronger. If Israel wants to protect their people, they need a major change in strategy.

Hamas rules through terror, not only of Israelis, but of their own people. So there can be no true "poll" to get inside the mind of Plaestinian civilians.

Hamas does not rule or have any control in the West Bank. In fact, Hamas rallies are outlawed in the West Bank and many Hamas leaders have been put in prison there. Yet the poll taken shows more people in the West Bank think Hamas won the war than in Gaza. Furthermore, the poll was not taken by Hamas. It was taken by an anti-Hamas, pro-Fatah group based in Jerusalem.
