Thread Name: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
I realize that Fatah and Hamas recently agreed to reconciliation, and that this caused concern for Israel, hampering the overall peace process- as part of the agreement did not require Hamas to agree with Fatah, that Israel has the right to exist.

My question is related to the relationsihp between Israel and the Fatah government and area. Hamas seems to overshadow Fatah and its area in the news. Has Israel and Fatah shot bombs at each other in recent years? Is the standard of living, employment, and freedoms much better in the Fatah area, than the Hamas (Gaza) area? If so, is there something to be learned from the different approaches that Fatah and Gaza takes with tge relationship with Israel? Or, is it not related?
