Early this summer, Amin Abed, a Palestinian activist who has spoken out publicly about Hamas, twice found bullets on his doorstep in northern Gaza.

Then in July, he said he was attacked by Hamas security operatives, who covered his head and dragged him away before repeatedly striking him with hammers and metal bars.

“At any moment, I can be killed by the Israeli occupation, but I can face the same fate at the hands of those who’ve been ruling us for 17 years,” he said in a phone interview from his hospital bed, referring to Hamas. “They almost killed me, those killers and criminals.”

    Just because Isreal are bad guys, does not make Hamas good guys.

    That’s the worst part for the Palestinian people - no matter who wins the conflict, they lose.

      At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m gonna keep repeating this.

      There are no good guys in this fight.

      There are only sides.

      You can choose a side, but you have to realize that that side has done terrible things to innocent people for terrible reasons.
