[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Israel negotiates in [b]good faith [/b]toward a two state solution with security guarantees for all.

Abbas and Fatah also generally seem to negotiate in good faith toward this mutually beneficial goal.

Hamas stays true to its charter goal of the destruction of Israel. Hamas lives up to its official designation as a terrorist organization. The current violence is entirely due to Hamas.[/quote]
Good faith? What the fuck are you smoking? Israel has worked to derail the two state solution for the past 20 years. Ever notice all the settlements and siege of Gaza? [/quote]

In the 1990s, in the era of Clinton and the Oslo accords, Israelis worked for peace and a vision of Israel and Palestine growing together. But a lot of people lost their faith in "peace process" when Hamas etc derailed the peace with bus bombings that killed and maimed many civilians in Israel. This changed the culture. Many Israelis saw that the Hamas terrorism only increased during the peace process. There is no peace with terrorists. They think they can achieve their aim of destroying Israel through violence. Hamas must be defeated.[/quote]

In 1996, long before the second Intifada, Likud came to power.  Netanyahu hated the Oslo Accords.  During that time he expanded the settlements in West Bank.  Who in their right mind could possibly believe that Israel was going to let Palestinians have control of West Banks while he was simultaneously constructing new settlements, each one a thorny barrier to a West Bank settlement?

Oslo 1995
Netanyahu Elected, Settlement expansion, 1996
Ariel Sharon visits Temple Mount, 2000
Second Intifada, 2000.[/quote]
