Please put on your finest kippah and go to Gaza and personally deliver this message to everyone. I am sure they will be ecstatic to hear your message of peace and goodwill. I would also recommend you buy a home in Sderot so you can be close to your new friends. You might want to swing by Italy and ask that Italian friend of Hamas, or rather his mourners how his mission of peace went.

NO concessions.Period. End.

Oh, shut up. You people live in a perpetual winter. Stop talking about a fantastical "REAL" ersatz "Palestinian" "spring." You've never even had a fake one, so any idle chatter utilizing the words ersatz "Palestinian" and "spring" in the same sentence is just that much nonsense and easily dismissed.

The only way to achieve peace is with all out war. Make it unthinkable to attack Israel as is said in the movie Swordfish: "Anyone who impinges on America's freedom. Terrorist states, Stanley. Someone must bring their war to them. They bomb a church, we bomb ten. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourists, we tactically nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that it becomes unthinkable to attack Americans." Same thing must be applied for Israel :) whaddya say?

Disgusting naivety. Do you still think these Hamastoids are keen to accept Israel, its jewish nature, after all these years of brainwashing ? It is almost impossible to convince these guys to stop hating. The possible change of Hamas posture is due the fact its leaders were sistematically killed. Cutting the head of the snake may bring silence and confusion to the sheeps robot brainwashed dumb beings. Do not be another naive leftist. Hamas only understand the language of force and deterrence.

#24 Salma. Regular readers remember your constant warnings that "Palestine is coming" in September 2011. Palestine is as fictional as ever. The bottom line is that, Salma. You can wait and wait...and wait. It's never happening. A "REAL Palestinian spring" would give Israel an excellent reason to drive our enemies out of our land forever.

Even if Hamas assumes a more constructive role, the Pals will always have a 'bad boys' organization to 'resist' with missiles and terror. So who cares if Hamas stops sponsoring terror. They may disassociate with terrorists, but they will tolerate the Islamic Jihad, P Resistance Committees and Al Queida, etc. letting them do the dirty work. This was exactly how the PLO became a 'peace partner'.

This is, at most, a tactical change. The strategy, to eradicate Israel, remains unchanged.

If the Arabs accept Jewish security control of eretz yisroel which is defacto now anyway and develop a more sympathetic attitude to the whole spectrum of humanitarian safe sanctuary Judaism. there is hope.

Steven Gilbert, you have the point. That's all.

Is that the Season when you send your children out to blow themselves up? I'm just asking...

17th floor rooftops. Hamas = terrorist. Period

Real Cheap. There is no such animal as Palestine, thank G-D. Hamas embraces terror , terror and nothing but terror. I think you should discuss with Gaza women what kind of rights they have. You could discuss with the tooth fairy-undoubtedly a friend of yours.
