    He is literally a convicted murderer responsible for tens of thousands of war crimes and Hamas has the support of over 75% of the people in Gaza. It is extremely difficult to feel sympathy for them.

    Islam - The Religion of Peace - The Quran: "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them" (Quran 9:5). "When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads" (Sura 47:4). "Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate" (Quran Sura 9:73). "The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. Fight then against the friends of Satan" (Quran Sura 4:76). "Who are these idolaters and unbelievers and infidels? Those who are not strict Muslims. Muhammad is God's Apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another" (Quran Sura 48:29).

    Leaders live amongst their society and produce productive lives. Leaders recognize they are not the only society left on the planet. Leaders direct nations towards humanitarian goals. Fresh water systems are the most important. Ideology is an excuse not to share. No one really cares about your personal convictions. Society needs stability.
