Is "Stop The War coalition" going to insist on the leadership of Hamas being tried for "war crimes" HUGO - The deliberate targeting of civilian centres of population is "illegal" and Hamas have been engaged in this activity from inside Gaza since 2002.

Or doesn't that count?

Is "Stop The War coalition" going to insist on the leadership of Hamas being tried for "war crimes" HUGO - Threatening prisoners lives in demand for concessions "illegal" and Hamas have been engaged in this activity with respect to the kidnap of IDF Corporal Gilad Shalit.

If Hamas as the elected government of the population of Gaza, determine to attack a neighbouring state, a state internationally recognised under the terms of the United Nations Charter, then they, the government of Gaza and the population of Gaza that elected them, must fully expect that that country is perfectly entitled to defend itself.

1. Stop attacking Israel and recognise its right to exist
2. Stop killing Israeli citizens and threatening to kill Israeli citizens

And there will be NO MORE KILLING. Now once the Palestinian Arabs get that into their fat heads the better for all concerned - especially them, because they seem to pick up the tab for Hamas every bloody time. The only thing proved so far is that the Palestinians must be on one hell of a slow learning curve - I note that over the past 34-35 days Hezbollah up there in southern Lebanon got the message in August 2006.
