Quote:Perhaps he can get Hamas (if there's anything left of them) and their merry band of terrorists to the table....
Oh, I think there is plenty left of them. I can only see the IDF as acting the role of a Hamas recruitment agency. They have excelled themselves. Not only have they treated every resident of Gaza as an armed and dangerous member of Hamas, even 6 month old babies, but they might just make it so. The IDF action will swell the ranks of suicide bombers for generations to come and endanger the lives of ordinary people everywhere especially jewish people.
This is not the first time that Israel has killed Jews (or allowed them to be killed, same thing in the end) to justify the killing of Palestinians.
Quote:In that same year, the authoritative Jane's Foreign Report disclosed that the Blair government had given Israel the "green light" to attack the West Bank after it was shown Israel's secret designs for a bloodbath. It was typical of new Labour's enduring complicity in Palestine's agony. However, the Israeli plan, reported Jane's, needed the "trigger" of a suicide bombing which would cause "numerous deaths and injuries [because] the 'revenge' factor is crucial". This would "motivate Israeli soldiers to demolish the Palestinians". What alarmed Sharon and the author of the plan, General Shaul Mofaz, then Israeli chief of staff, was a secret agreement between Yasser Arafat and Hamas to ban suicide attacks. On 23 November 2001 Israeli agents assassinated the Hamas leader Mahmoud Abu Hanoud and got their "trigger": the suicide attacks resumed in response to his killing.
