#1 This guy musta attended the Kerry School of Finer Double-Speak. I was for peace with Israel; that is, until we demanded boundaries that they will not accept.

#3 Sure they can.

The peace of the grave.

They keep their shit up, they might just be surprised at whose grave it is.

#4 Hamas wouldn't meet those conditions for talks unless Israel "recognized a Palestinian state within the boundaries of Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem."

They rewrite history and imagineer geography. There never has been a Palestinian state within those borders. Historically, the Philistines inhabited modern Gaza and Lebanon, the Edomites had the east bank of the Jordan, and the sons of Ishmael were settled from Havilah to Shur in the desert near Egypt and all of Arabia. Israel's boundaries, with Jerusalem as its capitol, included the West Bank and extended to near Damascus. Maybe science could determine these true ethnic homelands using DNA? If they don't like Israeli law then a move to Jordan would be more comfortable. But if they insist on being unreasonable, the Palestinians will be "unrecognizable". ;)

#5 I think it's time to field-test the MOAB. Gaza would be a perfect place to do that - there's nothing socially, culturally, or politically significant there, just a bunch of seethers and whiners. The world won't miss them. I think I'll pass this along to DOD for comment.
