it woudl accept the terms of the Arab Peace iiantitive.Hamas stuck to a ceasefire until Israel broke it, then proposed returning to the ceasefire, which Israel rejected. when you are willing to ackknowledge that it is amassing new weapons and missiles to use for a possible other round of hostilities. You cannot be serious. You're complaining about Hamas amassing new weapons and missiles to use for a possible other round of hostilities when Israel received 3 billion a year in state of the art weapons, and who's leaders are talking openly about the next war (ie. massacre) of Gaza?Only last week, Israel were warning that Hamas might have acquired anti aircraft missiles. Apart from the fact it's a given that these will have no effect on Israel's planes, it's mind boggling to hear Israel protesting that Hamas have acquired defensive weapons that might get in the way of Israel massacring the Gazan population.Could you be any more delusional and mentally deranged Jonah? There are many ways to stop the blockade, for example the release of Jilad Shalid, the end of the rocket launch, the recognition of Israel as neighbor, more conciliatory tone, not only warmongering demagogy. But yes, it’s an old story … False on all counts.The Israelis have made no effort to secure the release of Shalit, so clearly his release is not a priority.Hamas stopped rocket attacks for 4 months in 2008, and Israel went back on their promise to lift the blockade, which was part fo the original ceasefire agreement.As Meshal pointed out, how could the Palestinians NOT recognize Israel as a neighbor, when Israel is imprisoning and oppressing the Palestinians?I though you were committed to reporting the truth Jonah, at least that's what you claimed. All you've done here is reel off the talking points from the Likud web site.
