    EatingRaul & Others

    Excellent post on the discrepencies between the armed might of Israel and the armed 'might' of Hamas.

    For this reason alone (although there are others) don't you think from a tactical point of view (the 'tactics' being what steps get us our state), the Palestinians need to be a little more discrimatory and targetted in their use of violence?

    Israel controls the land they want to control. I think from your posts, you would agree that there is no way Hamas/PLO/Fatah, etc. is ever going to win by conventional military means (i.e. Palestinian armored columns evict the Israelis in battles) their state of Palestine.

    Therefore, the Palestininas have to understand they will get their state when Israel agrees to part with the conquered land. Would you agree with this take on the sad situation?
