Hamas' charter is just a bargaining chip. Like the ANC or IRA renouncing violence, Hamas will dispose of their non-recognition of Israel when they feel they are getting something in return. Israel knows this but uses it as an excuse to continue its murderous policies.

Hamas are a funded resistance movement by Iran and Suad/private backers.....It isn't in their interests to accept peace.....It's similar to the Likud party. If in the unlikely situation where we got back to something like camp david in 93 I'm quite sure both 'right' wings on the Palestinian and Israeli sides would be opposing peace. Indeed the moderates would have to 'win' the peace on both sides.....Not a problem so much in Israel but the moderates...Which I suppose would be the pragmatic elements in Fatah are pretty weak now amongst the Palestinians.

The Gazans only voted for Hamas out of desperation. They have nothing to lose, which is the main problem. Give them something to lose and they'll vote for more moderate leaders. Israel has created the situation where Hamas is the voice of Gaza and I believe they want this as it suits their wider aim of controlling all of the land from the river to the sea. It's called divide and rule and Israel does it very effectively. EDIT: This thread is meant to be about ISIS anyway. There's already a thread for Israel/Palestine and it's not this one, so I won't be discussing that issue here any more. Edited by Seth (03 Aug 2014 7.31pm)

I think the Palestinians and Israelis will make a deal one day and there will be a "final" two state solution. HAMAS, as an entity deeply rooted in a particular religious ideology I'm not so sure about, and whether it would be the government of an independent Palestine, is more questionable. Growing out of Muslim Brotherhood ideology, they subscribe to a particular strain of Wahhabi Islam that sees the present conflict not essentially as a nationalist struggle, but rather something predicted by the Prophet, like the extermination eventually of the Jews in an apocalypse-like final chapter, and the pre-eminence in the whole region of "true" Islam as something pre-ordained by Allah. Reading the whole charter gives a taste of this. Even in a two-state solution, their ideology would alienate the many secular and Christian Palestinians. Its an interesting question, similar to whether ISIS would evolve into a democratic government in Iraq; in ISIS' case, I think not, and the reasons why are worth thinking about in both contexts.

I think one reason they got out was the weight of domestic opinion wanting them to do so asap, the same opinion (larger by then) that had wished they had never gone in...

Is it really all to do with sibling rivalry? Two brothers falling out? Why don't the media just stop reporting on it and giving help to the propaganda? Imagine if every day, on the news, they said it was raining in Manchester. It'd be a lil bit irritating, wouldn't it?
