82. what you're not getting is that ANYTHING Israel does is good for Hamas
You are so wrong about Hamas growing due to Israeli actions aimed against Hamas. I pointed out 3 major events from 2000 and 2005. Complete withdrawal from both south Lebanon and Gaza and what President Clinton labeled a very credible peace deal. Hamas and Hizbullah saw those as signs of weakness, Ken. They ratcheted up terror attacks hoping to get more concessions, thinking Israel was weak and tired from all the fighting - and therefore more vulnerable. What will make you understand that these are groups who will NEVER recognize Israel and want to live in peace with them?
Had Barak in 2000 offered ALL the W.Bank? Are you serious? Israel left ALL of Gaza and Hamas gained power as a result.
Tell me this. What makes you think Palestinian leadership of the past 20 years has really and truly been interested in its own land and real peace - to the point of being desperate for it? What evidence do you have for this?
