stick to watching Piers Morgan.
It could be worse. This is worth seeing.
I think you share a point of view with finkelstein about what it’s reasonable to expect from people who’ve suffered for generations. People turn to extremism when other options are closed down. Israel in the last 20 years has very much ensured that political options are closed down, the PA corrupted, Egypt under the thumb etc.
I’m not sure he actually expresses it here, but Finkelstein has spoken about his parents attitude towards Germans (for decades) after surviving the holocaust and how hatred is really human nature to be managed (I’m paraphrasing).

Ok then well let's ask some questions. Why does Hamas exist and how did it come about? Would it exist if there wasn't an oppressor to fight against? If you can't make those connections but want to stick with the "but Hamas" line then go stick to watching Piers Morgan.
