Who is shurgging them off? They are obviously a problem otherwise I wouldn't care to mention them. The question is now that we have identified the problem, how does one take care of it? We know that the military solution has been tried by Israel and that it failed. The other option really is through political means.
Also, I'm not Blaming Israel for Hamas' actions here (though I've laready clarified that before), I'm blaming Israel for a lack of meaningful peace process when it comes to the west Bank. And that is i nrelation to what Tizanabi was tlaking baout. The tragedy here is that the Palestinians in the form of the Abbas Administration are finally partners for peace and Israel refuses to live up to any of its peace plan promises.
This comment seems almost silly really. Hamas' entire existence (well, a good part of it) depenRAB on Israel not moving forward with the peace process. No one is in a better position to marginalize their entire platform than Israel is.
Hamas is the party of resistance and that is empowered by the fact that even when Palestinians show themselves to be relatively peacefull and even when they meet all of the pre-conditions set forth by Israel and live up to their end of the Road Map, Israel still won't even live up to its own promises and obligations (such as halting settlement construction).
The very fact that Israel refuses to be a partner for peace in the West Bank with the Abbas administration is what best serves to legitimize Hamas while completely undermining the alternative (cooperation and peace) in the form of the West Bank administration. Hamas is then viewed as the noble resisters while Abbas is viewed as a puppet and that is clearly the wrong message to send and quite frustrating to witness. There neeRAB to be real progress in talks with Abbas and there neeRAB to be a halt to settlement expansion and the sad truth is that until Israel is willing to do that Hamas and its ilk won't go away. As long as there is no progress then there is significant room for this platform of resistance.
