Should he fire hamas or he himself step aside from the political landsape

I think firing Hamas is definitly out of the question, since there would just be pure chaos. Stepping down would not be a very good idea since if he did there would be no bridge to the PA that Israel or the US to use in any such negotitiations. I don't think he failed, he may not have been to affective. It's a hard line to balance to try to please the more radicals but yet also appear as a peacemaker at the same time. It's something that few leaders in that region have been able to do very well. If they appear to much with the radicals they are labelled as dictators or a supporter of terrorism. If they appear to much of a peacemaker and side to much with the West, then they appear as a puppet and weak. This pressure is doubled for Abbas and especially now with Hamas in the government.

Well Hamas won. The people have spoken. Now Hamas has a choice, keep their present stand on destroying Israel (a country formed and recognized by UN charter which is more than I can say for that area called Palistine.)and being broke. Or they can denounce terrorism and recognise Israel as a country and join most of the rest of the world with all the benefits and perks of being on someones dole.

Of course.if Israel can't blame this one on Hamas(although I am sure they will find some reason to,'cos they always do),it will be called just a "mistake"...No one will ever accuse Israel of deliberately killing civilians.even if they do...\nThey get away with it because they have the support of the strongest country in the world US ...\nUnfortunately Israel proved once again that it doesn't want any peace negotiations...while Hamas and Fatah are ,they too.wrong for asking attacks on Israel...It will only bring more violence...\nAs long as Israel keeps attacking the Palestinians territories and the Palestinians keep responding there will never be peace...\nAnd unfortunately the Palestinians have no other choice... than fight with the only means they have...

Israel has never blinked in their history!  They have to show that they have no weakness or they will be at the mercy of all the Arab countries around them.  Hamas will have to blink or the Gaza will not be available to them anymore.  Israel will just go in and restore their authority!

Your comment has merit. The heavy handed approach, seems to do little more than spawn new generations of anti-Israel kids. To call them Nazi-like will earn you score and reproach. I would simply say that their approach does not seem to be working.

No he shouldn't. In light of recent alliegations he needs a serious talking to.

Hamas was elected in a democratic election and should be able to form their government. At the same time, they should uphold the rights of other human beings. If they are serious about turning away from terrorism and brut force, they should know actions speak louder than words. \n\nIf the Palestinian government won't recognize Israel's right to exist then why should Israel keep giving the Palestinians money? Stop crying for funds from someone you say doesn't exist.\n\nNo one can have it both ways. Shake hands and take the money or ignore Israel and find your funds elsewhere.\n\nFor the second part of your question , terrorism is the most effective means radial people have found to get their cause in the media. Mass terror(ak a) bombings sales newspapers. Doesn't matter if it is a suicide bomber in the Middle East or a bomb at a clinic.

Because Hamas wants to destroy Israel.  America wants to support democracy because democracies usually don't support terrorism.  The Palestinians proved to be the exception here.  Just because Hamas wants to destroy Israel does not mean that the United States has to give Hamas money to do so.

Retire. He is a pioneer but is no match for the fighters in the UFC today. If he is a real man he would retire, admit that the game has changed and bow out gracefully without making excuses.

Well he never really has success with businesses, so I don't think he will do that.  I think he will mostly retire.  He might continue to be involved with foreign relations and investments, like his father has done.  I do see him taking up some causes.

There already is a Palestinian State and it's Jordan which is 2 3rds Palestinian\n\nI think Israel should annex all so called occupied Territories into Israel and burn the members of Hamas at stake.

I think the governments of the West have made it very clear what the barrier is.  Hamas was renounce terrorism and its call for the destruction of Israel.  I think you call it a "Jew lobby" in our senate, but it's not because it's a Jewish state or Israel, it's because Hamas is calling for the destruction of another country.  That does not ever sit well with the United States.  If Hamas will renounce its former violence and become a legitimate POLITICAL party that will seek change through PEACEFUL and POLITICAL methods, then it will be recognized by the West as a legitimate government.  It will finally get the recognition by the world that it has craved.   Surely the leaders of Hamas are intelligent enough to see that.  Your prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, taught peace, not violence.  I see the election of Hamas in Palestine to be a golden opportunity for the leadership of Hamas.  I hope they do not do anything foolish that would ruin their chances of establishing a legitimate government.

I am surprised that the U.S. was giving any aid to the Palistine Authority as we do not support terrorism and Yassir Afrifat was considered one of the foremost terrorist leaders in the world 40 years ago.  The Palistine Autority has agreed to return the Money.  You say shame on the U.S. for asking for this money back, yet Hamas wants Israel driven into the sea, which is against the policy of the U.S. foreign policy.  Hamas has said they do not want to change their belief's that Israel should not exist and the U.S. asked for the return of our money.  Fundimentalist Muslims want the destruction of the U.S. because we support Israels right to exist.  Does it make sense to you that we should support those who are against our policy?  Foreign Aid is for those countries that support our policies in principal.  The Palistine Authority understands this and has agreed to return the money.  Everybody says it is Allah's will that the U.S. must be destroyed, however in the meantime they all want to spend our money.  Do you see a conflict here?
