There is no way to predict what will happen in Palestine, but it would be a tragedy for the international community to abandon the hope that a peaceful coexistence of two states in the Holy Land is possible. Like Egypt and all other Arab nations (excluding Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc.) before the Camp David Accords of 1978, and the Palestine Liberation Organization before the Oslo peace agreement of 1993, Hamas has so far refused to recognize the sovereign state of Israel as legitimate, with a right to live in peace (and were elected to power ON THAT PREMISE). This is a matter of great concern to all of us, and the international community needs to probe for an acceptable way out of this quagmire. There is no doubt that Israelis and Palestinians both want a durable two-state solution (HOW CAN HE SAY THIS? Read the red words above), but depriving the people of Palestine of their basic human rights (to kill Jews) just to punish their elected leaders (THAT THEY ELECTED - what an asshole!) is not a path to peace.
PEACE COMES AFTER VICTORY - YOU IDIOT!!!
