The Plight Of The Palestinian People And Who Is Responsible For It

Israel has steadfastly reconginized the Palestinian people and their right to exist. Hamas has doggedly and stubbornly refused to acknowledge Israel and its right to exist,while vowing to destroy it and its citizens.
When Israel was created in the 1940's the Jews were offered a third to half of what is now Israel with the Arab population getting the remaining half. Israel accepted this partition and the Arabs turned it down believing they could throw the Jews out thus controling the whole area. A war soon ensued with Israel winning and thus creating the current Israeli state
Hamas unrealisticly wants to go back to the 1940's and deny the existance of any Israeli state.
So while the Jews recoginize the Palestinian people and there right to exist in their own country Hamas has decleared war against Israel and refuses any kind of meaningful peace talks that might settled things poltically without war. Instead Hamas attacks the Israeli state by sending sucide bombers thru opened border crossings to kill and maim Isreali citizens.
So while Israel desires a poltical settlement Hamas continues to wage war against it.
So who is really the racist in the middle east Israel who acknowleges the Palestinian peoples right to exist or Hamas who continues their reign of terror and refuses any recognation of the Jewish state
