"Unless Israel agrees to the immediate removal of the blockade, the removal of the Berlin walls and a discontinuation of the humiliation and suffering it has imposed on Gazans, those who have been slaughtered by Israel will have died for nothing."

Pssst Christmas all those Palestinians who have died HAVE died for nothing - that is precisely what Hamas has delivered and it is not going to deliver anything else. As long as they persist in their jihad and in their charter they offer no hope only death. If that is what the people of Gaza want then so be it - their choice, Israel and its population are not just going to roll over and die, they quite rightly will fight for their independence and their right to live a life free from attack and free from the threat of attack and as that seems to mean killing those who would mount and support such attacks then that will be what happens.

"Let Israel agree to the U.N. taking charge of the heap of rubble it has reduced Gaza to and return to the negotiating table"

The UN would not take Gaza on for all the tea in China Christmas, they are not that F**kin Stupid - you on the other hand are. By the way what would the UN take Gaza on with? I believe that the Israeli's are only too willing to return to the negotiating table, it is Hamas that are the ones who seem reluctant.

On the subject of this negotiating table could you give us an inkling as to what Hamas would be prepared to negotiate with the Israelis? Timings and ports of embarkation possibly, or perhaps method and means of extermination? One thing for certain Hamas will never negotiate anything remotely to do with a Two State Solution.
