Palestinians have been offered their own state multiple times and refused, lord only knows why . Im convinced Hamas initiated this knowing full well the repercussions that would be unleashed on their people. All to gain world sympathy and a Palestinian State. They realize that only a legitimate state recognized by the international community ( UN) would lend them the ability and credibility to begin eradicating the Jewish state. Their true goal is from the river to the sea. I just hope my nation doesn’t contribute financially to them in any way. As I remember their continued reign of terror in my teen years and onward. Suicide bombers , hijacking’s, Munich Olympic murders etc. . They will remain a terrorist state in at least my mind no matter the UN’s stance.
