#1 "All they know is the language of force,"

Too bad our people don't understand this.

#3 LH,

I think that probably about 10%-30% of the Israeli population believes that Hamas, with proper guidance, courtesy, etc., can evolve into a non violent organization. Of course such people will always claim that no 'proper guidance... etc.' was provided and will blame whoever is convenient for it.

#4 They have a precedent -- Menachem Begin transformed the ~~terrorist~~ revolutionary Irgun into a political faction.

IMO the chances of the Palestinians producing someone strong enough (or sane enough) to do so is effectively nil. There are too many external actors profiting from the chaos.
