The most empathic view for Palestinians is to use an analogy of American Indians. It was their land. The British allowed settlers after the war. It was empathy, and guilt that allowed so many Jewish people in Palestine to begin with.
I mean the question not even being asked in this thread. Can you be the bad guy if you are fighting for your home? What acts actually go to far against an occupying force? They have already been forced on reservations, and are slowly being squeezed out of those.
Hamas is clearly wrong, the same way American Indians that killed innocent civilians in the frontier of old.
