I dunno about this.... Seems to be terrorists are like egg-sucking dogs, the only way to stop them is to put'em down.

Death to islam!
What are you smoking? Can I have some?
Yeh right. We can all negociate with a terrorist group whose motto is: "Death to Israelis - Death to Israel". Negotiations with the Palestinians is a thing of the past.... It should have been that way from the very beginning. The PLO stands for Palestine Liberation Organization, and to them ALL Israel IS Palestine and what they want to free Palestine of is ALL Jews!!
"...a huge opportunity for peace".
It ain't gonna happen. Ever.
I don't any faction in Israel will buy this recipe for self suicide. I know it sucks, but Israel just needs to keep the barbarians outside the gates, and on the other side of the wall, and do so for very many decades, while worrying about what might be offered up in uncertain skies. The neighborhood sucks.
The reason this election is a 'chance for peace' is that now that Hamas is the duly elected government of 'palestine' the next homicide bomber or rocket that leaves 'pali' territory for Israel becomes a no crap Act Of War.
That will give the Israeli government all the reason it needs to drop a couple of thousand pound LGBs on the 'parliament' during it's very next full session.
Let all the rats get in one place, turn 'em into pink mist.
Voila....a 'chance for peace'.

Hamas and peace? Bra-ha-ha-ha-ha!
What does the 12% figure mean exactly? Is the area on the east side of the wall only 12% of something larger, or does the wall take in 12% of the pre 1967 borders?
Can Hamas make the leap from terrorist group to governing political party? This is certainly not impossible. The Stern Gang and Irgun, groups responsible for the King David hotel terrorist attacks, as well as massacres of Palestinians, gave up arms for politics. The pro-slavery rebels of the American South laid down their arms after the civil war and joined the Democratic party.
The above mentioned weren't acting on instructions from Alah.
HAMAS is following the Koran and respecting Islamic tradition. To them the Israelis are on consecrated ground. Caliph Omar bin-el-Khatab many years ago said it should be consecrated for Moslem generations till Judgement Day.
HAMAS is not going to allow Infidels on that land,ever.
Why can't the Author of this article and the Jews realize this, and stop fantasizing about peace talks, or reforming terrorists. - Tom
"Though the United States doesnt know it, its best course of action is to make this an opportunity for negotiations as a framework for peace."
*** Those who are responsible for offering negotiations for the U.S. have been preparing this as a step in the framework of peace. That is why you heard our President make positive remarks to the MSM. Giving them validity also gives them responsibility for their populace.
No, it is not possible.
None of the historical comparisons is valid.
None of the "transformed" historical "terrorists" had, as their sole raison d'etre the destruction of another country or an entire people.
Arab reason and logic is either non-existent or totally evades me...
Is that entire culture retarded?
No
Can Hamas make the leap from terrorist group to governing political party?
Don't be ridiculous. Of course nit. This discussion has been going on forever. The only reason to continue the charade is to keep the funds flowing to the terrorists.
Gee, now we know just what that stupid black moon-rock is...
It's the Bizarro World! No WONDER everything an Islamazi says is back-a$$wards and wrong!
The best way to get peace is to build a 40 foot high wall around gaza and the west bank, then fill it with water"
I am glad that these endless Middle East negotiations are finally over. I have gotten so tired of reading about this crap every week for the last 40 years. I used to be a long-term subscriber to US News and World Report until it was purchased by Mort Zuckerman and he started devoting 25 percent or more of each issue to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute which caused me, amoung other things, to finally cancel my subscription.
