Summary/Abstract: The recent events in the Middle East have been watched by sensitive people around the world for approximately the past two weeks. Yet the decision makers, who could not understand it is impossible to reach a solution by only condemning, are only watching the ‘state terrorism’. Israel is still going its own way by ignoring the others, carrying out its own specific executions by using its and the US’s ‘legitimate’ special methods as usual. Not only are the UN, the EU, and the US silent, but also most of the Arab leaders. The reasons behind the attacks and the possible outcomes have been discussed by the experts all around the world as well as in Turkey. In this essay, rather than trying to analyze the recent events, I would like to call your attention to a different topic. I would like to say something about Hamas and Israel by going back to late 1980s.
