Hamas is the represents the Palestinians
Wikipedia writes:
Hamas regards the territory of the present-day State of Israel ” as well as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank ” as an inalienable Islamic waqf or religious bequest, which can never be surrendered to non-Muslims. It asserts that struggle (jihad) to regain control of the land from Israel is the religious duty of every Muslim (fard `ain). This position is more radical than that now held by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which in 1988 recognized Israel's sovereignty. Hamas does not recognize Israel as a sovereign state and refers to it as the "Zionist entity", a common hostile term in Arab political rhetoric, and calls for an end to the state of Israel in its charter.
This is the party of Hamas as it was when the Palestinians elected them. The people of Palestine were very aware of just who it was they were electing. If we were the ones living in Israel, I wonder how any one of us would react to what has happened in that area? It is very easy to be critical while at home living our comfotable lifestyles, in the US, Canada or the UK etc.

Everybody is entitled to my opinion.
