Then Israel should say "No deal". The terrorstinians have NEVER stopped their violence for ANY negotiation. This makes it really difficult to believe it when they ask for cease fire negotiations . . . they don't cease fire. Once arms are set aside, then, and only then, negotiations for reasonable terms can begin. West Bank is not reasonable because originally you asked for Gaza with the promise that hostility would cease and Gaza would become the the newest Arab country. YOU LIED!!!! Why should your side be trusted now?

Forget a truce. Let's just clobber Hamas once and for all. Take out their political leadership, here and in Syria and then start on therank and file.In the words of Genaral Rigway, "Let's bleed them white.

it is not used by Arabs to prepare for war. In exchange for a truce, Hamas must disavow violence, recognize Israel, and commit to making full peace.

so that when Hamas decides to attack it will have more chances to annihilate Israel. Toc toc Israeli Leftists, any body home?

Over sixty-five percent of Arabs in Gaza support continued suicide bombings against Israeli civilians, according to a report released Monday by the Arab Jerusalem Media and Communication Center. Sixty-nine percent are "pessimistic" or "very pessimistic" about reaching any peaceful settlement with Israel. More at : http://xrl.us/bjoje

My great aunt worked for the Chicago Stock Exchange for 20 years. When I was I kid I asked her to explain the stock market to me. Her answer I have remembered for the rest of my life. "Sometimes the Bears win, sometimes the Bulls win, the Hogs always lose." Haniyeh = Hog

"taking out" their former political leadership like Yassin and Rantizi really put an end to Hamas, didn't it? We can kill all of them today and there will only be more in their place tomorrow - and your idea of attacking Syria is a guarantee that the whole region will go up in flames. We are at a point now where we are seeking quiet with Hamas. Lets not get carried away with all the enemies we would like to kill. We need to talk more and shoot less.

Is Israel begging Hamas for regonition or what ? why does Hamas think they are important, could some body respond please.

East Jerusalem. Yeah so they can bring their rockets even closer to Israel and have more chance of killing people! They don't want peace, it's just a chance to prepare for bigger plans in order to damage Israel!

Losers do not dictate terms. The only place where Hamas is a winner is on BBC.

It is interesting to see Hamas trying to extend its sway over the WB areas as well as gaza. Same old same old . Just bomb Gaza and clean up that mess. Then Israel will be respected, and feared again

Andy, I didn't say take on Syria, I said, get rid of the Hamas Political leaders there. We should have killed Arafat back in 82 not bring him to Israel. You are right, more will replace them, however, if they are kept running for fear of getting killed they can't plan attacks on us. I live up here in the North, I know war up close, don't want it, but don't like the status we have now, and talking with these people only leads to more bloodshed later at their time and choosing

hahaha! ceased fire must also include Lebanon, PKK, darfour,Irak, etc etc... Bloody Hanieh ! a real clown in this one man show..
