Hamas
The Gaza situation is a complex and difficult issue. I was at the Munich summer Olympic games in 1972 the day that the Palestinian terrorists killed all the Jewish athletes. (p.s. I am not Jewish). I have travelled all over Israel as well as several of the Arab countries nearby there in the middle east.
I feel tremendous compassion for the poor people in Mexico, as well as the poor people in Gaza. And also to the poor people without health insurance in America. In many cases the people are being subjected to horrible things. A lot of it originates from their own government or their own government's refusal to reign in the people who openly violate the human rights of their own folks. A lot of the brutality is caused by a culture of corruption, toleration of the idea that anything goes, and a government that doesn't operate by the rule of law. (Sounds a lot like Cheney and Bush)
One can be completely certain that if just one, or maybe five or ten rockets were fired from Chihuahua into El Paso and Las Cruces, the terrible wrath of the U.S. military would be fully unleashed. This certainly would be true if the missiles were fired daily. The reaction by America would be completely disproportionate. And rightly so.

If someone breaks into my house at night carrying a deadly weapon, then frankly it doesn't matter one bit if he is poor, hungry, and out of work. I will shoot the son-of-a-bitch cold dead. I won't first try to engage in a philosophical discussion with him. It makes perfect sense. One has the right of self defense against an intruder, and when someone is firing deadly weapons into your house you have every right to use overwhelming force to stop him. I hope that my self defense weapon is much more powerful than his offensive weapon.

As long as Mexico refuses to accept that the United States has the right to exist, and as long as Mexico refuses to accept that the USA now owns this territory (which used to be a part of Mexico), and as long as the Mexican officials (and also the common people) close their eyes and tolerate even the occasional home made rocket being fired from Juarez into the USA, the Mexican people will continue to suffer unbelievably horrible consequences.
Hamas needs to stop firing the rockets into Israel. And the Palestinians need to accept reality....Israel isn't going to go away. No American administration would allow it. So the Palestinians need to begin trying to improve the lives of their own people instead of constantly trying to kill people.
