Have you noticed that Hamas and Hizbullah are Islamists? That means that they have adopted a program of totalitarian Islam, one of whose basic tenets is that you cannot make lasting peace with the infidel, only temporary truces are allowed; your long-term goal must always remain conquest. So if Hamas and Hizbullah embraced the Arab League proposal they would be repudiating their own ideology and everything they stand for. You see the problem?

Yes, I see a problem, but only if Hamas and Hezbollah remain monolithic. Applying your Catholic analogy to the situation would mean that Catholics would still be murdering Protestants centuries after the Reformation. The Catholic church has changed, and so can Hamas and Hezbollah IMO.

To give Hamas their due, they have been too honest to even tell lies about accepting peace, as Arafat always does.

Perhaps that is why they are refusing to work with Chairman Arafat because he has told lies, and soiled the honor of the Palestinian people. Chairman Arafat's popularity among his people is extremely low right now.

I don't think it is Israel's place to become involved in Palestinian politics.
