The left won't care. They'll dismiss it as false or justified because Israel is much stronger, better equipped and, oh yeah, in the right. Worked with an Iranian Christian girl, some years ago. Her family got out when the Shah fell. A coworker asked her why muslims wanted to kill all Jews and Infidels. She said "That's what it tells them in their book and that's all they know."

All Hamas has (or had) to do was not make war. Gaza has not been occupied for about 18 years. Israel provides water, electricity, gas, jobs, currency, tax collection and disbursement services and more to the people of Gaza. Hamas has never been interested in providing these services to their own people. They have a massive natural gas reserve off the coast of Gaza (which Israel found, but ceded to the Palestinian Authority) but AFAIK they never tried to negotiate with any 3rd party to use it to generate export sales, local electrical power, or desalination.
