There is no use.\n\nthe UN is always with what is called "Israel". America is too. So why should the Palestinians trust both?

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.

UN has no power over what is going on in the Middle East.As long as US has the right to veto in the UN security Council Israeli soldiers will keep killing Palestinians...knowing that no matter what US is going to save them...So US says to UN what it's UN's policy in the Middle East...

Excellent Question!!\n\nThe Real Problem Between the USA and Muslims is that the USA supports the Ruthless Israeli Occupation of Palestine and that it occupies Iraq through lies and deception.\n\nThe USA lied to the Muslims and Muslims don't like liars. \n\nIf the US APOLOGIZED for supporting the invasion of Palestinian lands and apologized for punishing the Iraqis for having a leader they helped install, then Muslims will love America, like they did before America's lies began to surface since 1990.\n\nI remember when Muslims world-wide were looking up to America, this was before we started to reveal our claws... and before we started to scratch and stab our Arab allies. \n\nMuslims would love the US if the US wasn't such a hypocrate... calling for freedom yet supporting the occupation of Palestinian lands!

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!

I am shocked at the no. of anti-Semites who post on this site. Israel is the only ally the US has in the Middle East. It is a democracy and its citizens have the right to vote and a constitution much like ours. They are surrounded on all sides by terrorist nations determined to destroy them. These same terrorists are responsible for 9/11 and many other attacks on US interests.

Why in the world would "the west" support a government with a party in power that is a terrorist organization?  Israel is a democracy that has tried to deal with terrorist attcks in a non-violent way.  Hamas has been behind those attacks.  Why send aid to a country whose government is bent on terrorism?  \nWhen Israel and Palestine get to a place where both will sit down and draw up a peace plan and then stick to it, things will be better for Palestine.

The Palestinian people elected Hamas (a terrorist group) as their government.  I think this is called "cause and effect".  You elect terrorists into your government and the people who gave you aide will stop giving.\n\nSeems pretty simple to me.

You pat my back , I pat yours.\nIt is the mutual secret pact with Israel that the USA and Israel supports each other in every good and evil the other do.\nThere are too many crimes against humanity done by Israel to mention.\nIsrael would only oppose the US if it is against their national interest, which would be a rarity.\nThe  USA on the other hand benefits little except for support in spying on the people in the Middle East , at which Israel is better equip that the USA.\nUnfortunately , some of the information can be really biased

Take the Israeli influence out and let the Palestinians exercise their own free will independently.\nFatah and Hammas are two native groups in Palestine like every one else has in his country.\nWhy are you targeting Palestine only?

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...

That would be great.  However, Hamas is a terrorist group, not likely to honour any peace treaties.  The situation is so sad.  Progress was looking like a possibility, but the election of Hamas has set peace back.  For how long?  And leading to how much death?

It is still supporting Hamas.  The goal is to not have peace with the Palestinians and to steal thier land, having a reactionary government that Israel can falt out reject and ignore diplomatically is exactly why Israel supported Hamas in the first place.  It is ideal if the goal is to ignore efforts such as the Road Map, because of course, they "don't recognize Israel".  The fact is that Hamas could be brought to the table and would recognize Israel, but a long pattern of negotiations where Palestinaisn offered all and Israel offered ntohing reasonable by far (camp david) has made the Hamas line hard.  Palestinaians elected Hamas because they are tired of leadership that acts in accord with Israels rejection of peace and in doing so capitulates to the oppressor.  But Israel is in control (because the US allows it) and can only be brought to justice if the American people put pressure on them to do so, it is in our hands, make a call, write a letter, it is the least we can do.
