The reason is that if such a thing were carried out and the HAMAS regime there ousted, the FATAH people led by Abbas, whom Oren calls "moderate" in the article, would take over. Then Israel's Leftist goverment in power could say "we now have a 'peace partner' in power, we can now withdraw from Judea/Samaria as well". Far Leftists like Meron Benveniste say that making a truce with HAMAS in effect recognizes their control of Gaza, thus permanently splitting the Palestinians which would make them unable to reach any so-called "peace agreement" with Israel. We live in a strange world where the only choices available are bad ones, i.e. in order to hold on to the settlements in Judea/Samaria (which Oren, as a sane Leftist probably doesn't care about), we have to want HAMAS to be strengthened, meaning they can make life hell for the people in the South.<BR/>We all need to pray a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
