Gaza's Calm Determination By Norman Finkelstein http://www.zcommunications.org/gazas-calm-determination-by-norman-finkelstein

For most of the time in Gaza, our delegation was guarded by young Hamas militants...I felt moved and obliged to state publicly that...none of them was deserving of the death Israel has attempted to inflict on them...[T]hese young men have chosen to defend their homeland from foreign marauders with weapon in hand. Were I living in Gaza, still in my prime and able to muster the courage, I could easily be one of them.
