#3 ...disagreements over the PLO charter...

I imagine that would be the part the acknowledges Israel's right to exist.

#4 i dont think the charter explicitly affirms israels right to exist - all they did under olso was declare inoperative the parts that deny Israels right to exist. Theyre waiting for a final settlement to affirm. I dont think this studies ambiguity is whats giving Hamas problems - I presume instead its references to a "secular" state that are at issue.

#5 How about Hamas' charter which calls for the destruction of Israel? Does have to renounce that? Seems to me that if they don't we're back to around 1988.

#7 i think the disagreement is about the PLOs charter, not Hamas' charter.

#8 yes,Liberal,you are correct but the point is that the PLO is incorporating an organization (Hamas)whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel...be kinda like the Republicans incorporating NOW with its avowedly pro-abortion position...does Hamas tow the PLO line or are they free to call for pushing the jews into the sea?It's all nice that Hamas wants to join the process(assuming you believe that)but it seems to me that some basic ground work needs to be done first...like Hamas renouncing the destruction of the jewish state.

#9 IIUC some of the existing components to the PLO deny Israels existence. I think that was overlooked in Oslo, cause everybody knew it was Fatah that was important. Arguably Hamas is bigger than any other non-Fatah elements in the PLO, so its a bigger concern.
