Why people tend to forget Hamas is a terrorist group?

Will people stop blaming Israel if they fail to protect their citizens when those thousands rockets hit Israel soil?

    It is NOT the PEOPLE, but the liberal media, especially the American liberal media, who wish to blame Israel and portray Hamas as simply a "political organization."

    Have a right-wing day.

    The question is, terrorist group to who?. Not anyone but Israel and the US.

    Let's for once list the facts from fiction. Hamas has provided anything poor Palestinians needed. Hamas is the ONLY organization that provides aid, food, medical, security to the Palestinians people. The Palestinian Liberation Organization who are the officials of the Palestinian people don't even pay for the police force. The US pays for their salaries. Wondered why?. You figure it out.

    Hamas came to a place where they saw a desperate people, caught under siege, between pro Israeli policy makers and US policies influencing the region. Even billionaire Saudis and others don't lend a penny to the Palestinian people. Forget about giving them aid and assistance. Hamas provided all they needed, the reason they were overwhelmingly elected by the people.

    Hamas already won the battle against Israel and their critics. Hamas won the minds and hearts of the Palestinians when others DID NOT. An easy task that Israel, the US and others could have done to prevent Hamas from all this.

    Doesn't surprise me many conveniently forget the IRA were a terrorist group that also targeted innocent civilians people choose to believe what what suits them.

    Sophie I didn't say you did fund it but the reason many Americans did is because they thought the IRA had the right to fight dirty against those occupying their land so whats the difference between them and Hamas.

    .I actually had a great uncle killed in this conflict he was in a uniform and was lead into a trap by a 6 yr old child.

    I choose to see both sides of a story and I don't support Hamas either.

    Sophie before you have the cheek to call me a hatemonger read your first statement about Democrats and Euros and then judge me.

    Also stop stereotyping people I am Australian not British and I don't hate Americans just the narrow minded ones with their blinkers on and they can live in any country.

    Mostly because the terrorist groups have a better pr core. You know like Reuters, CNN, BBC, CBC, MSNBC and the rest.

    These groups blame Israel when Israel tells the women and children to flee and Hamas refuses to let them. Then when the women and children are killed they get to blame Israel for being blood thirsty and the " un bias " media drinks it up.

    Because, supposedly, Israel kills innocent children, women, etc-- never mind that Hamas initiates it due to hiding and launching attacks from homes, universities, etc.

    I really wish people would take a look at facts rather than blindly join the anti-Israel propaganda.

    They watched to much bias bases media. Who can resist injured children? Israel needs to pull their wounded out for the world to see.

    Then why does Israel kill so many more women, children, and civilians than the Hamas?

    There is a logical schism taking place on your part.

    They didn't forget. Democrats and Euros always cheer for the terrorist side.

    Mike: Because that's where your cowardly heros hide -- behind the women and children. (Sheesh, you may be right -- they may not have a clue what Hamas is.)

    ::: I didn't fund that backward tribal UK conflict, Molly. Go watch some more BBC (or ABC).

    ::: Talk to those Americans who did, you stereotyping hatemonger, dragging up history to feed your hatred. I know -- I came late and put you in debt. Disgusting hatemongering culture they pass down to every generation, our "allies"...
