Why does Hamas still have support among Palestinians? Do you believe that Palestinians are born with a desperate desire to kill Jews? Is it innate? Or are they angry/weary/desperate because of 75 years of occupation and an ever increasing oppression?

I have condemned Hamas over and over and over. I will continue to condemn all terrorism.

The Oxford dictionary defines terrorism this way: terrorism

ˈtɛrərɪzəm

noun

the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Seems to me that this covers both the initial attack by Hamas AND the Israeli response. Some things are not zero sum games. Murdering innocent children is never acceptable, allowed, justified. NEVER.
