Question

If Fatah aligns itself with Hamass, how can Israel negotiate with them in the peace process?

Answer 1

leave it be - the palestinians will probably never be united.  now - westbank / gaza will be split.  probably better as abbas is trying to get nationhood.  and if negotiation goes well - maybe sooner than expected.  if we look at the other side - hamas has done israel a favor by taking over gaza.  abbas shld try to play his card well to get statehood.  

actually for as long as they quibble, israel's existence will not be in jeopardy.  if united, they can be a formidable front agst israel.  

if we read certain revelation - we will know that the muslim world will never be united.  and that israel will be hear to stay.  

i lived in israel for several yrs and the israeli arabs live in harmony with the israeli jews albeit with some suspicion.  so its the minority politicians tt has created this divide.  had it not been for the cruel mufti of jerusalem of the 1940s,  both would probably be living side by side peacefully.  so we can see how one man can create yrs of pain and suffering.

Answer 2

If you have a next door neighbor that threatens you continually, attacks you,  launches missles at you daily, teaches their children to hate you, and proudly boasts of their children that they strapped bombs on to kill you, and promises to keep trying to take your land, would you really think anything would come from negotiations?  What is it exactly that  you aregoing to negotiate?
