Radioactive etc - with all respect, Hamas' charter calls for more than a restoration of "pre-1967" borders. Hamas' charter is explicit - the replacement of Israel with Palestine. Fine, OK, at least they are more honest than Fatah these days.
Israel do a lot of frankly indefensible military actions. As do Hamas. Both sides play the race card. So who wins? No-one. Come on, Israel could've wiped Gaza off the map decades ago (and the West Bank too, come to think of it) but have not. And Hamas could've been smart and played their cards well too, but have not.
So where does that leave both sides? Fucked. So let's stop arguing semantics here for a minute..and PLEASE don't bring up the "what's happening now" card...rather, let's look at the long term plan - both sides HAVE to live with each other, so where do we go from here?
I have no easy answers at all, and there are no easy answers for this thing. Whatever is agreed, Israel is not going to go away, and neither are the Palestinians. Let's concentrate on THAT first, eh?
