Shouldn't, they be worried about Hamas, or have I missed something.

Not in the West Bank, I don’t think.

Not saying he was wrong, but you could equally apply the reasoning to Hamas.
They just recruited a nation hell bent on revenge.

And they are capable and will commit atrocities equal and worse than the IRA did.

Even though SF/IRA are the biggest crowd of murderous gangsters and serial killers these islands have ever seen, they ain't a patch on the Hamas küntz.

Agreed but I’m talking about the Israeli government.

A Hamas leader on the news made me laugh... His words were designed to pass the buck to the insurgents and he was (to all intents and purposes) saying that the Hamas leadership didn't order the atrocities that the world has seen and they therefore must have been the result of some "very naughty boys who went over the border wearing Go Pro's and got a little carried away"

Fucking cowards, the Hamas leadership..... I was gobsmacked

Well we got really close to peace and then Israeli ultranationalists killed Rabin, and the new Netenyahu ran Israel poured a shit ton of money into the Palestinian Islamist mosques to disrupt the PLO regime and Yasser Arafat that had signed the Oslo Accords leading to the rise of Hamas and their religious zealotry instead.

And Hamas embarked on a series of suicide bombings that derailed the peace process and emboldened the right wing

Some in Israel are starting to realise that the right wing has been a disaster can you imagine if they had been given the West Bank with some land link to Gaza just imagine

Correct. Hamas don't control the West Bank.

Fatah are corrupt sell-outs who basically play a similar role to Indian Reservation Police.

 

[Ducado]

So should Hamas really. You sense the last couple of weeks have put peace beyond the reach for another generation at least, I won’t be around to witness it I can’t see.

Where is the worlds spiritual successor to Mo Mowlam when you need someone to bang heads together?

I don’t think it’s as hopeless as that, perhaps this may be a cathartic time
