Ah, ha, thank you for pointing that out. Yes, it is known by our American government who has labeled Hamas as a terrorist group. So I can clarify. I did point out later, and perhaps should have been more emphatic in noting that it is natural for a people to want a police force for protection. Thus any system of homogenous people are going to have protectors, and thus this is the ‘natural’ source Hamas arose from. However, Hamas is just the latest iteration of that ‘police force’ to protect the Palestinians. Of course, the limitation in the media is trying to trace the “source” of the conflict, dating it back to 1972 or 48, or even 1920 with the British after ‘winning’ Palestine from the Ottomans. It does turn out that they were there since about 836 AD until 1920-ish when the Zionists arrive. That’s like what, 1100 hundred years. In a sense, the Zionists were a slow scale invasion, coming in back by the Europeans, and continually taking the land piece by piece, fighting the British, the Arabs, the Christians, and the Palestinians themselves.
So, thanks for letting me clarify. The “official” branding by our government is “terrorists.” Of course, back in 1774, when King George the III burst into Parliament, he said loudly, What is happening in MY Massachusetts Bay, in MY colonies? After seem reconnaissance and reporting, HIS propel came back in 1776 to deliver the report. The answer was, I think, something like, “Sir, it’s the that subversive terrorist group of rebels led by Washington, who are being funded by that Jew Haym Salomon, that Pollack, working with the English Traitor Morris.” George was like: Well, finding their tunnels and flood them out, those terrorist scum.” I think we forgot our country was born from the struggle against the authoritarian dictator oppression, of “King” Georgie. I’m afraid that many Americans forget to read the Declaration that him “the tyrant” who forced the rebels to live under “the oppressions.” Instead, many revere “The King.” (Yes, I can do better, but my ancestors were just dirty rebel farmers in ditches and swamps — true story.) Stay well!
