#1 Hamas willing to recognize Israel if all Israelis voluntarily jump into the ocean but leave their purses and wallets behind. -- Such a deal.

#2 There's a 50/50 chance that the EU and US State Department would push for it.

#6 That "viable" is a real problem and a big laugh. No word on renouncing violence against this newly-recognized Israel, I note. Or keeping to the word once spoken.

"New posture" indeed. That's all it is. Heads still firmly up their butts, same posture. What's new? Rocking from side to side?

#7 TW, you forgot the lack of funds coming in. I imagine if we keep that pressure up, eventually they'll even run out of bullets or RPGs (that is, if the Israeli force field thingy doesn't make RPGs obsolete first). Gawd, I love being on the winning team!

#8 Israel is in charge of borders. Hamas is in charge of terror, false doctrine, and hiding behind women and children.

#9 Why would anyone believe "Hamas"? Oh, that's right, they're the government now, not a bunch of AK-47 weilding baby-murdering religious fanatics. Of course they'd never lie....

#10 Let's make it a reality show. Tell Hamas the length of time till the money spigot gets turned back on will be equal to the time it takes them to recognize Israel. We could have a fast moving ounter showing the delay time till money gets restarted and the amount saved thus far. Each day Rice or Rummy could come out and talk about what happened over the last day with pictures of Paleos crying, etc. Great ratings opportunity.

#12 Funny how Hamas has hardly absorbed the fact that they'd won the election when their hand was out for more money from the West - the same West that they despise. Great moral fibre there.

And where is it written that the West is obliged to give them money? Now they are making civilized noises about recognising Israel. But it's just a ploy to lull the West into complacently handing over more millions.

Hamas will never civilize themselves. It's like expecting Neanderthals to have manners.

#14 I think they are wise to send in the wheat. It's not going to bother their Arab brothers and sisters if the babies starve, but it will bother us in the west. So if they don't have food, then it becomes a big PR thing and the RFSP will send them money, which won't go to food, but to bombs. Giving wheat is like handing leftovers to the bum on the corner. If that's all everyone ever did, he'd only sit there if he was hungry and after awhile, he'd get full and go home.

Give em' food and water and leave them strong enough to demand from their government more than just a daily ration of gruel.

#16 "Willing to recognise", huh?
