#8 I wish Arafish would hurry up and die. I'm looking forward to the paleo civil war. It should have a high entertainment value, especially with the euro left screaming for military intervention. |

#7 Hamas is now on the verge of being recognized by the palestinian in the street for what it is, a bloody murderous organization that is leading the palestinians from one disaster to another. That's a small step, but the Average Hassan needs to realize that the big fish to fry is Arafart himself. Hamas and its competing groups are only convenient scapegoats. |

#6 In some cases I agree with a phased, but with respect to a kabar, the blood-grooves should allow for rapid withdrawal out of the chest of any Hamas militant. |

#5 I take the "10 years" term to indicate that they are running out of splodeydopes and need to let the next generation grow big enough to carry a bomb. |

#3 Hamas is tired and discredited; just like their leftist sympathizers/allies/enablers. The only thing Israel should negotiate with those muderous bastards is whether we let the leadership live anohter ten minutes or another ten months. |

#2 ...He said he did not expect Israel to respond favourably to the new suggestion, "when it has rejected the Palestinian Authority's offer for less land than what we are proposing". Just who was it that rejected an offer of - I think - 97% of everything that they were asking for back at the last Camp David talks? Mr Rantissi said the truce could last 10 years, though "not more than 10 years". translation: "The Israelis only believed that we'd uphold our end of Oslo farce for 7 years before they started to get wise. We think that this time, with some more pressure from the EU and the UN, we can stretch it to ten. Besides, we are almost out of willing |

#1 Hamas is coming to realize that they have already missed the train ! The Security fence is now an established reality. It is the only thing that is actually effective in stopping terrorist boomers (not that they ever stopped trying). An interesting side effect of the security bonus is that the Hamas and the Fatah under the orchestration of the Arafish Mafia have given Sharon the best pretext for establishing political facts in the field. Hamas is now on the verge of being recognized by the palestinian in the street for what it is, a bloody murderous organization that is leading the palestinians from one disaster to another. They are now frantically looking for a way to look more moderate than they really are in order to take the pressure off themselves so that their own people do not blame them for being the loosers they are. They fool nobody. Anyway,even though they seem quite popular in Sweden right now (especially in artistic circles of the swedish extreme left) for at least some of the guys at the Hamas top, the end may be nearer than they think. |
