Have you read the HAMAS charter? And please explain how you imagine 'peace' is to come about from following a group of people committed to daily sending rockets indiscriminately to attack civilians, digging tunnels to kidnap children from kindergarten, etc, etc.
I think I did read the Hamas charter, but perhaps what I read was just excerpts. Militant groups often, probably always, include hardline positions in their charters so that they will have points to negotiate when they do initially come to the table. It makes for smooth progress at the very beginning, gets the ball rolling. As every salesperson knows, get 'em on a roll saying "yes" and you'll make the sale, right? And as I tried to explain once already, history has shown that bringing militant groups into the process transforms them into institutions. There is nothing to fear whatsover from TALKING to people. This whole thing reminds me of the days when Israel and U.S. both would denounce PLO and say they would never talk with terrorists. Even while they were saying that, they started secretly meeting with the PLO! They had to of course, otherwise there would have been no progress, things would have remained in stalemate and they would have failed at what they were trying to achieve. All the hardline public rhetoric is just to save face with the hysterical and somewhat knuckleheaded public who can't perform cogent political analysis. Israel and U.S. are probably making indirect overtures to Hamas right now.
And that's a good thing. You say you want the violence to stop, n'est-ce que pas? And you are willing to have it stop just as things are right now? Not one additional settlement established or Palestinian expelled? Good. There's hope yet.
