Hamas is a loose confederation of groups with widely different agendas and 
imperfect central control. Much like Israel which has powerful fundamentalist 
factions which are not controlled by central government.

No. They are called Palestinians (because they have lived in and around 
Palestine for centuries).

Precisely, they are being killed. So far 4 Israelis and a minimum of 62 
Palestinian civilians.

I believe you can (and should) condemn Israeli action without supporting the 
more extremist views of Hamas.

> You are a terrorist people with a sole goal to wipe israel off the map

To some in Hamas, this seems the only way to stop Israels cruel oppression, I 
don't, I see it as our duty to urge our governments to rein in the excesses 
of Israel.

> Like hitler.

Huh! Israel, as a separate nation state, did not exist at the time of Hitler!!

Both sides broke the ceasefire, the current fracas was instigated by Israeli 
action.

> They NEVER stopped the terrorism DURING  said cease fire

(But it was drastically reduced, despite Israel continuing an inhumane 
blockade, continuing walling in areas to produce almost ghetto like 
conditions, continuing diverting water courses to deprive Palestinians of the 
basic necessity for life).

Can't it be you AND them? Has only 1 side the right to live?
