Israel/Palestine

(50,254 posts)that it would be perfectly possible for Hamas to agree to the language you insist on, and then still go on saying the things you object to?
After all, you never admitted that it counted that the PA recognized Israel in the first place.
There's nothing magical in making them say it the way Bibi wants to make them say it.
The way to get more and more Palestinians to break with Hamas(as more and more are doing every day anyway)is to give them reason to believe that they have something to gain by breaking with it...NOT by having the Israeli government demand that they break with it. Demanding that is the best way to preserve support for Hamas...because it makes it look like those who did break with Hamas were collaborators with the Israeli security apparatus.
Your endless denounciations and your endless demands for more denounciations actually HELP Hamas...don't you realize that? You are giving aid and comfort TO Hamas with your rhetoric...and so is Bibi(who I can assume you now openly support since your favorite party, Kadima has joined his coalition and is now doomed to eventually dissolve into nothing but a faction OF Likud, given that that party can now never be a potential party of government again).
Think about the unintended consequences of YOUR tactics, shira. And remember the definition of insanity.
