Except Hamas took over Gaza in 2006/7 more or less in it's current form, before Netanyahu came back into power at 2009.

Hamas has always been an extreme organization, they executed a bunch of Fatah members by throwing them off buildings when they took over gaza, not exactly a fun loving bunch.

Sure Netanyahu didn't exactly help to see the least, but saying he is somehow solely responsible for Hamas is pretty biased.

Was this before or after Fatah lost an election and then refused to step down, instead staging a violent coup?

Are you actually trying to defend the execution of prisoners?

And that's putting aside whether what you said is right or wrong (which I'm sure you'll get very different answers from each side)

>> Hamas has always been an extreme organization, they executed a bunch of Fatah members by throwing them off buildings when they took over Gaza, not exactly a fun loving bunch.

Agreed. And Israel have annihilated over 50,000 Gazans. Not exactly a fun loving bunch.

I didn't say I agree with what Israel is doing so I'm not sure what the point of your comment is.

The truth is that there are zealots on both sides.

saying he is somehow solely responsible for Hamas is more than bias it's propaganda and lies. On the one hand people will defend Hamas and claim Israel is the aggressor and in the same sentence damn them while still blaming Israel. What kind of s#$% is that?
