      Posted by Billbar from Alternet

      What Israel and its benefactor -- the United States -- really want is to destroy the democratically elected Hamas government. Israeli President Ehud Olmert made the astounding statement that "the lives and well-being of Sderot's [Jewish] residents are more important than the deaths of dozens of Palestinian innocents." The Associated Press quoted Olmert as saying, "I want no one to sleep at night in Gaza. I want them to know what it feels like."

      Hamas performs about-turn on Israeli state

      Posted by Billbar from Guardian UK

      Hamas has made a major political climbdown by agreeing to sections of a document that recognise Israel's right to exist and a negotiated two-state solution, according to Palestinian leaders.

    Israel-Hamas truce announced

    The religious had always relations with the Hamas. A strong Hamas, a weak OLP {niet anymore: the OLP is now strong again in  cis jordan), or the possibility to reunify again the two side in a democratic process like in Maroco, for exemple. Where is  the interest of Israel ? what are the rules of the game ? War and trouble is never good for Israel.

    I think Hamas loses its base if it retracts this.
