I must disagree with Kamiya’s naïve notion that it is possible to accommodate with one’s enemy whose sole purpose is your destruction. I must also disagree with Kamiya that the extreme Hamas militants have wide support among the Arab world.
The Palestinians are hostages of the Hamas extremists who are pawns of Iran. It is truly tragic. The Gaza saga will take years to play out with tragic consequences.
It would be interesting to see what will happen if the whole world blacks out all news from Gaza and ignore the Israel / Palestinian conflict.
