> "Hamas is playing the land grab card against Israel".

What do you mean by that? Comparing Russia with Hamas seems like a massive distortion of reality, not sure you meant to do that.

Israel is occupying internationally recognized Palestinian lands of West Bank and a blockade on Gaza. Just yesterday the Israeli foreign minister suggested sending Israeli settlers into Gaza illegally and drive Palestinians out for good. Hamas is a terrorist organization, who kills civilians, but let's not pretend that the IDF is any better.

And the US is a colonial power of the 20th and 21st century. It just hasn't done it the same way as the Europeans of 17,18th,19th century, mostly because there are different tools available now: culture export, dependence on oil, dollar as reserve currency, global free trade, and the rise of corporations.

Noan Chomsky says the issue of Palestine is resistance against colonialism. [1] [2]
