Emma, that still leaves unanswered why Hamas doesn't stop the rocket attacks. There are wheels within wheels there, and Israel is just one of those wheels. Various factions connected with groups who have other than the best interests of Palestinians at the heart of their efforts--loosely called terrorist--have used the scenario you describe to rearm. We know that to be true. So tell me, if you were an Israeli, would you allow that to happen? Someone's gotta give first, and I don't think it will be Israel--not without some serious guarantees.
