"Tell me where I'm wrong, obiwanobiwan?"
They don't consider Israel their state (the land, yes, the state of Israel itself, no),
Israel just entertained months of negotiations AGAIN on the statehood issue, and BOTH sides have stonewalled that at different points on different issues at different times,
When Israel DID allow Gazan elections they were rewarded with...
Hamas--clearly, that's what Israel would allow were the Palestinians "their own people," electing a party dedicated to destroying their state and people.
They push for Palestinian statehood,
They asked the UN to be considered as such,
They ask the international community to be considered as such,
They elect a group dedicated to destroying a state they see as their sworn enemy...
Would you really elect a group dedicated to the destruction of your own state if you considered yourself part of that state?
Israel is not their state, nor do they wish it to be, at least not as Israel.
A minority may wish it to be, but as we're talking about Gaza and Hamas and not that minority within the Israeli mainland itself (or the West Bank, for that matter), Israel is NOT killing its own people, it's killing the people of Hamas, who are in Gaza, which as time and again asserted that it wishes to be "their people" about as much as Putin wishes to be a member of the Tea Party.
