I have been following Paz lately. He is a very astute observer.

I think he got it right.

The assassination will raise Hamas' stock, not a good thing. For all its warts, the PA is the only entity with which negotiations can take place. Hamas, on the other hand, is unrelenting in its view that Jews must be wiped out, Israel Islamicized, etc. The assassination will raise Hamas' stock at the expense of the PA's. How that can be seen as a good thing is beyond me.

I'm having difficulty understanding why, given Hamas' stance, did Sharon's government not put the screws to it and instead has concentrated in suppressing the more flexible Palestinian organizations, particularly those in the WB? It seems to me that Hamas, being the more radical adn therefore more dangerous organization, would have been given priority.
