YOU DON'T NEED TO TALK TO THEM TO MAKE THEM A SOVEREIGN STATE:

Israel to impose Hamas sanctions (BBC, 2/18/06)

Before the cabinet meeting, acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called the Hamas-led PA a "terrorist authority" and ruled out direct talks. [...]

"It is clear that in light of the Hamas majority in the PLC and the instructions to form a new government that were given to the head of Hamas, the PA is - in practice - becoming a terrorist authority," Mr Olmert said.

"Israel will not hold contacts with the administration in which Hamas plays any part - small, large or permanent."


What Hamas fears most is responsibility, so just pile more on them.

I suppose pleasant fantasies about Hamas are preferable to gloomy musings on the Endlosung to this situation.

Alas for me, I cannot help comparing Israelis to Americans and Hamas to Pontiac.

The Israelis aren't going to commit genocide, even if they need to.
