Diplomacy
This is bit over the top. The successor of Hamas, or Hamas itself, needs to make peace at some point. User:Fred Bauder Talk 02:59, 25 April 2012 (MSK)

 * It doesn't seem so, but, actually, I've never made a serious study. I do know that their current program promises endless conflict. I support Israel's right to defend itself. That doesn't have much to do with what social and economic system they have. I also support the right of the Palestinian people to govern themselves and not be subject to territorial acquisitions or misrule in the occupied territories. I don't see an end to the conflict until there is a general Mid East peace; therefore Israel must maintain a strong defense, be ready to act vigorously, sometimes to preempt attack, and occupy territory for many years into the future. That, however, does not give them a right to conquer territory or abuse people. User:Fred Bauder Talk 16:15, 25 April 2012 (MSK)
