Which part of the word 'op-ed' do you all find so difficult to understand?

If you want to blame someone for confronting you with an op-ed you find disagreeable, it makes more sense to blame me than the Guardian.

Israel should not withdraw from any territory until they have an actual peace deal that involves every significant Palestinian group so also Hamas, I'll agree with you that far. Of course, such a deal isn't possible if the sides aren't talking.
View original postFor real, Hamas changes its language mildly, concedes nothing, and this is a basis for talks ? Who is supposed to talk with Hamas, btw ? These are the same guys who threw Fatah members off rooftops ten years ago, not that I am too enthusiastic about those other guys, but for the Hamasniks they were fellow Palestinians.
Nobody is saying this turns them into angels, or that they made the concession out of the goodness of their hearts. But still it's an important step.
View original postIf Israel was to withdraw to the 1967 borders, it would just serve as a base to launch more rockets. Gaza was a test case and it failed.
Gaza was a unilateral withdrawal. That's not really a great idea if you leave everything else unsolved, no. It has little to do with a negotiated agreement, though. And of course any such negotiated agreement would require pretty rock-solid security guarantees for Israel on things like those rockets - as I recall a group of former military/intelligence leaders made a detailed proposal of what Israel should demand in such talks.
View original postJust imagine if Rabin had signed a treaty with old Assad, maybe ISIS would be bathing in the Sea of Galilee, assuming Abu Bakr el Bagdadi did not decide to poison the water to prove Jesus walking on water has no lasting effect, thus proving him a false messiah.
What's your point? Turkey also has trouble with ISIS on its borders. What does that have to do with making a deal with the Palestinians?
Why Now Is the Time to Talk to Hamas

Since Eretz Israel is still Likud's aim, and AIPAC has turned Capitol Hill into another...

There's more to Israel than Likud - and more to Capitol Hill than AIPAC.

But it's the Likudniks, in both countries, who have such an outsized say in matters...

Hamas is still considered a terrorist group by the US and the EU.

Oh, I'd still talk to them. I just don't expect anything positive will occur with them.

Well, at a minimum, it's still the time to talk to them and see if they'll back up their words. *NM*
