Hamas is labeled as a terrorist organization because of their cowardly military tactics. All the more reason to negotiate with them so that they stop killing your innocent civilians. It is irresponsible of the governments who choose not to attempt negotiations for peace.

Anyway, what is wrong with Israel pulling back to the 1967 lines? That is the gift they were given by the UN, and I think it was a more than generous offer in the first place. The fact that the drinking water comes from Golan Heights is not Syria’s problem, it was their land and was not given to Israel by the UN, it was taken through violence. And now you expect them not to threaten violence back? Come on, Oren, you must admit your bias on this topic leads you to tell one side of the story all too often.

Oren, do you think we (the US and/or Israel) should not only negotiate, but also deal with Hamas since it is a terror organization?

Andrew: I am not sure about it, but I would guess that secret talks where held mainly around the kidnapped soliders issue. Besdie, it would be easy for both parties to use American intermediator.

These happening are very interesting as I feel that Olmert anticipates a war to defend Israel when he says “Whoever threatens Israel would be terrible sorry for the results”. I am unsure of resume regarding war, but it doesn’t sound like he is a Dove, in regards to the Second Lebanon War. And his Warhawk-ish ways wouldn’t be a good combination for peace with Syria and Jordan.

With Syria making bold statements like being ready for war and remaining hostile to peace efforts, I think that there will be a traditional battle between the Arab nation and Israel. Perhaps an attack on the Sabbath this upcoming Friday night or Saturday morning during Passover week. (It definitely wouldn’t be out of character to attack on a religious holiday.)

All in all, Oren, I think this is a great article on Carter igniting an already dangerous situation.

Oren, what did Carter expect to occur as a result of his visit?
