Not a supporter of Hamas, or Fatah for that matter, however:

1) At this point, Hamas could likely win an election and unify Gaza and the West Bank, which is why the fascist Likud is doing everything possible to prevent elections from occurring.

2) According to the 'Geneva Declaration on Terrorism', which the U.S. is a signatory to, fighting back against Illegal Military Occupation is NOT terrorism:

peoples who are fighting against colonial domination and alien occupation and against racist regimes in the exercise of their right of self-determination have the right to use force to accomplish their objectives... Such lawful uses of force must not be confused with acts of international terrorism.

The fascist Likud has been attempting to falsely conflate Palestinians with terrorism for years. You're merely regurgitating false fascist propaganda.
