Do you really have so little understanding of what is going on there?
Israel has GIVEN them what land they have. Israel GAVE them those M16s.
Israel TRAINED their Police forces.
With the recent grants in Gaza and the West Bank, the chances of peace
between Israel and the Palestinian seemed actually possible, for the first
time in decades. And now this.
Hamas has been shooting and blowing up Israeli civilians for twenty years.

Hamas Is Resolute On Fighting Israel
By Rhonda Roumani and Scott Wilson
Washington Post Foreign Service
DAMASCUS, Syria, Jan. 28 -- Days after Hamas's victory in Palestinian
parliamentary elections, the group's exiled political leader vowed Saturday to
continue its confrontation with Israel and suggested that the radical Islamic
movement would turn its military wing into a national army for defensive
reasons "like any other country."
Hamas Says It Will Not Change
By STEVEN GUTKIN, Associated Press Writer

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Following their resounding election victory, the
Islamic militants of Hamas met the question of whether they will change their
stripes with a loud "no": no recognition of Israel, no negotiations, no
renunciation of terror.
The win by Hamas ? which is responsible for dozens of suicide bombings on
Israelis and has long called for the destruction of the Jewish state ? caught
everyone, including the organization itself, off guard.
Both Hamas and the international community face agonizing dilemmas. Hamas
leaders say they won't renounce their violent ideology, but the consequences
of failing to do so are likely to be catastrophic: loss of life-sustaining
aid, international isolation and a profound setback to their statehood
aspirations.
An interview with an up-and-coming young Hamas leader in a dusty Gaza Strip
field revealed how the organization's slant could shift.
Mushir al-Masri said renouncing the "armed struggle" and negotiating with
Israel are "not on Hamas' agenda" because a decade of talking won the
Palestinians nothing.
Hamas Victory Rattles Arab World
By SALAH NASRAWI, Associated Press Writer

Under its charter, Hamas seeks Israel's destruction. It has opposed
Arab-Israeli peace talks, refused to disarm and has carried out dozens of
suicide bombings against Israelis. The movement also advocates a conservative
political and social program based on a strict interpretation of Islam.
In a celebratory news conference from his base in Damascus, Syria, Hamas
leader Khaled Mashaal obliquely pledged Saturday to continue attacking
Israelis.
Israel's acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said peace talks were not
possible "with a Palestinian administration if even part of it is an armed
terrorist organization calling for the destruction of the state of Israel."
