Thread Name: BS: Israel Moves in.
Subject: RE: BS: Israel Moves in.
Hamas as the Government of the area of Gaza is not universally recognised as the Government of the Palestinian people. It has, like the Taleban in Afghanistan before, been recognised by one or two countries, that being done to yank America's chain more than anything else. While the Taleban were never elected Hamas was and the reason given for not recognising them is their Charter which demands the destruction of a fully recognised member state of the United Nations (i.e. Israel) and the annihilation of her people. That by the bye Don is where the MORAL Right of the matter comes into play.

Take a good look at what the Palestinian Arabs say they are fighting for, what they seek as a solution. Note that this grouping does not include Hamas all they will ever promise Israel is a cycle of truce and conflict. You will discover Don that as a two state solution it amounts to less than they were offered by the UN in 1947.

Sixty-two years of needless conflict Don, a path elected by choice by the Arabs of Palestine, another facet of this problem where MORAL Right comes into play. Ultimately is must end, and while we all recognise this truth and chatter about who should do what, for the combatants the perspective is somewhat different, they are literally fighting for their very existence and if they cannot make peace then one side will die, and the Jews will not just quietly walk into the night again.
