If Hamas and Hezbollah etc, who have alway's been consistent in their views, renounced violence and embraced the Arab League resolution, shouldn't they be taken seriously?

Who is talking about renouncing violence and embracing any vision that includes Israel? Not Hamas, I assure you.

If Israel rejects consistency, is peace their true goal?

Hamas has displayed great consistency in aiming for the total destruction of Israel. Their spokesmen suggest that there is plenty of room in Wyoming for the Israelis (seriously). Is it anti-peace to reject your own destruction?

Nadine, that's why I phrased it in the form of a question. As you said, Hamas and Hezbollah have been consistent in their views, however no organization is forever monolithic in their views, especially when they see new opportunities.

So if they do embrace the resolution of the Arab League, why can't they be trusted to be consistent at working for peace if that is what they say they will do?
