    And imagine what would of happened if the British reacted like Israel is now. After bloody Sunday there were world wide protests and the Brits were labelled murderers. The same can be said for the death of Bobby Sands there were huge protests then as well and again the British were made to look like criminals.

    The only difference is the IRA were seen as good ol' Irish fighting the repressive British whilst instead Hamas are seen as Muslim extremists who want to cause the apocalypse.

    One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter? In the case of the IRA who were perceived by the west as freedom fighters and Hamas who are seen in the eyes of the west as terrorists.
