Hamas wants war to the knife? Israel should oblige them. It’s about time the Palestinian Arabs were requited for their constant violations of international law.

HAMAS will gladly negotiate with Israel about what Israel should give–water, electricity, free passage, release of prisoners, and the like.

What is not negotiable is permanent concessions by HAMAS that would recognize Israel’s right to exist as a sovereign Jewish state. Of course, you won’t get those from FATAH either.

Meryl, Some more about Hamas' true intentions should be least shoved into Congress' face to counter all that "Israel is reponsible for the plight of Christians in Bethlehem" BS: Bostom: “Democrats” For Jihad and Jizya

Interviewed by Wall Street Journal reporter Karby Legget (and published in the December 23-26 edition The Wall Street Journal), Hassam El-Masalmeh, who heads the Hamas contingent at the municipal council of Bethlehem, confirmed the organizations plan to re-institute the humiliating jizya, a blood ransom Qur’anic poll-tax (based on Qur’an sura [chapter] 9, verse 29), levied traditionally on non-Muslims vanquished by jihad, and forced to live under Islamic Law (the Shari’a). Under the Sharia’s regulations, either the non-Muslim infidels must convert to Islam, or they pay the jizya—classically, in a humiliating public ceremony which often involved blows to the head or neck—and their life and belongings are protected.

See, no better than those Mafia protection rackets at best. So what will Rice say about her democratic experiment of letting Hamas take part in elections and the future of any Christians remaining?

The practical difference between Hamas and the PA regarding a sovereign Jewish homeland is in methodology, not ideology. It’s still unbelievable to me that so many people around the world still buy into the lie that what the PA (Fatah, PLO, etc., etc…) really want is an independent state next to Israel, but far fewer if any believe that Hamas does. Therefore, for the Palestinian Arabs to finally suffer the complete defeat they and we need to actually move forward towards any peace, perhaps there is some utility in having the PA being taken over by Hamas.
