I know that Hamas was and is a democratically elected government. I know Hamas is also a terrorist organization. To me, this is like when Germany voted the Nazis in to power - they did it legally, of their own judgement, and were responsible for what the Nazis did. Same goes for those that elect republicans, democrats, greens, conservatives, liberals, labor, and so on. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/26/AR2006012600372.html Hamas was elected by a group of thier peers. They obtained a majority. That is the historical fact of the argument. Hamas was elected to 'lead' their citizens to independance, and no less. I disagree with how they do it via the rocket strike, but that's their choice, and their reprocussions. And I'd like to know what 'the big picture is' when voting in radical elements to lead your country in a radical way.

u can't separate over 50 years of fighting that led to "hammas being elected" and u just can't separate the OP -which by the way u completely ignored- from that either.
u also don't know how people live there , u don't know how poor and desperate they are and what environment they grew up in and history goes back to more than to 2 or 3 year btw.
saying the majority voted for hammas is also wrong, i don't remember any of them getting more than 40% of the votes if i remember correctly.
u may also wanna know that hammas is not just a military wing , Palestinian know how corrupted Fateh is and they wanted better life conditions too so that how hammas was elected.
