Oh what bullshit. If Israel offers Abu Mazen a deal, it's Israel's fault becuase it's "fomenting a Palestinian civil war". The only way Israel could satisfy Hamas is to commit national suicide - is that your recommended course of action? Listen, the standard textbook for nationalist movements (the successful ones) is that they fight to bring their opponents to the table, then they cut a deal, then the moderates fight it out with the hard-liners to accept the deal. Look at Michael Collins and the Irish civil war. Look at how Ben Gurion brought Begin and the Irgun to heel. The Palestinian have never fought this fight because their terrorist leader didn't care about actually forming a state, he just wanted to continue the "armed struggle" forever, and agreed with the hard-liners' goals, i.e. destroy Israel and take all of Palestine. That's why Palestinianism is a failed nationalist movement.
