"Hamas continues to raise hell because" The only "because" for Hamas is Jews. That's their mandate, it's no secret. Their stated goal is to eradicate Israel and make the region completely Islamic. Chuck steak or no, it makes no difference to them if they were offered prime rib, they want the whole cow, without the jew of course. So then, you feel Israel should never let the Palestinians have their freedom? "Gaza and the WB were both promised to the Palestinians by the UN." Hey, the property was only occupied after a spirited attack by neighboring Arabs attempting to take what the UN had mandated for Israel. They got burnt, too bad for them, they should have accorded Israel the respect in '67 and '72 you insist Israel should give them now. I see.......Israel refuses to obey UN resolutions except when its convenient for them. Just as a reminder.........all of Palestine was occupied by 90% Arabs before the Zionists decided to make it their new home. Ultimately, of course, they weren't happy with sharing their newly adopted land but had to have their won state. After they finagled the US and the UN to back their claim, then they proceeded to take the rest of Palestine for themselves. Sounds like a case of oink, oink to me. And you want my gov't to support their position unilaterally. I don't think so! "And getting screwed by the Israelis galvanizes the Palestinians" Other than having to walk through single doors to every business and shopping center or wherever, Israelis enjoy a pretty good life (including Israeli Arabs), especially when compared to all other Arab nations. The people being hurt the most by terrorism are the Palestinians citizens, their leadership prefers the people they represent live in squalor. Hey, the PA is not interested in talking, so they get what they want. Thank you for making my case. Sharon and the Likud has what he wants and is willing to sacrifice a few Israelis each year for the cause. Trust me, this will work for only so long and then the $h*t will hit the fan. But thanks for being honest. And btw, are you Israeli?
