#3  Hamas has hardened its stance...

Kinda like rigor mortis.

#2  Perhaps Israel should soften the ground Hamas is stancing upon, then. If there is no negotiation in good faith, there is no reason for Israel to continue its own hudna: line up the artillery along the fence line, then ask the question one last time after the first salvo. The result could prove educational all around... especially since something like 2/3rds of Israelis believe Operation Cast Lead was ended much too soon.

#1  Of course they are going to toughen their stance - since they cannot deliver him alive. I doubt he survived a year.

They want Israel to accept a lesser 'precondition' - perhaps a few desecrated bodies....
