#2 Hamas sees that the balance of power between it and Israel is tilted in favour of the latter and it may not be logical to compete with them in a purely operational sense. However, for Hamas, accepting this hypothesis as fact would encourage Israel to invade Gaza periodically and grab its lands with impunity at any time, as it does in the West Bank.

This shows Al Jazeera's stupidity and bigotry. It was Arik Sharon himself (a right wing PM) who initiated the evacuation of all Jewish settlements from the Gazoo Strip and returned all the land to the PA clearly demonstrating that Israel has no interest to "Grab it's lands" as assumed by the compulsive liars of Al Jazeera.
However, in return for the favour, the Gazzoans "democratically" elected a murderous organization vociferously dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Hamas has been continously terrorizing Israelis by shelling civilans on the border, kidnapping civilians and soldiers and in general being a royal pain in the arse.
So of course we will invade the Gazoo strip sooner or later, not to "grab their F***ing land" but to eliminate the Hamas terror supporting regime and hand the Gazoo again into the hands of a legitimate, peace supporting PA (if such a thing exists at all and not in our overactive collective imagination".
We are definitely not interested in grabbing their land. What we want is to stop terrorism and liberate the poor Gazooans from being held hostage by this murderous semi-criminal organization.

P.S. - if you really want to know why the Hamas keeps craving military power, just check the swiss bank accounts of the Hamas top brass and you will understand immediately, the reason.

#3 A lot of problems would be solved if Israel lined up a bunch of bulldozers and pushed the entire contents of Gaza into the sea.

#4 Darth,
Indeed it would. but we have not yet developed the habit of drowning a million innocent people because of the crimes of a bunch of murderous Hamasniks.

#6 "Why is Hamas refusing to lay down arms?"
Because it's the only schtick they've got. Aside from taking bribes, it's all they know.
