#1 It seems to me that the best way to lure Hamas to negotiate in good faith is to end the Israeli hudna, which was put in place so negotiations could go on in good faith. When positive reinforcement doesn't work, there's only negative reinforcement left.

#3 Israel is just sweetening the pot, TW. With each Hamass they capture, they have one more negotiating chip. What would REALLY get their knickers in a twist would be for Netanyahu to go on television and radio, declare that Hamass is an enemy of the State of Israel, and that anyone belonging to, aiding, or supporting Hamass is also an enemy. Tell the people of Gaza and the West Bank that they have 30 days to turn over all Hamasses, or Israel will commence to abolish both Hamass and the territory that hides and enables them. Hamass isn't going to "negotiate in good faith" until they're being handed theirs in a small brown paper bag. Until Israel makes it intolerable to be or support Hamass, it'll continue to exist, and continue to try to administer the "death of a thousand cuts" to Israel.
