What we have in Hamas is an organization that is learning from its past mistake of pure intransigence and is <a href="http://www.foreignaffairs.com/node/65204" rel="nofollow">growing up</a>, and your remarks are simply not helpful to this process.<br /><br />Don't you understand that Hamas is FORCED to retain its violent, anti-semitic, belligerent attitude and intent in order to maintain the support of the Palestinian people? I, for one, can't help but appreciate the enormous, competing pressures the group is under to both moderate its message and advance Palestinian interests.<br /><br />Naturally, it is an anti-peace position to question why Israel would wish to deal with a people who can only elect an organization based on such a political platform.<br /><br />Surely you are not against peace, are you, Yaacov?Avigdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008730229882004376noreply@blogger.com
