(1,417 posts)Let us look at what Hamas has actually declared:
In July 2009, Khaled Meshal, Hamas's Damascus-based political bureau chief, said the organization was willing to cooperate with "a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict which included a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders", provided that Palestinian refugees hold the right to return to Israel and that East Jerusalem be the new nation's capital.
After economic blockade, and terrorization through bombing. I am sure many in Hamas would like to the destruction of Israel but shall we stick to their recorded declarations?....There is enough hysteria and Israeli propaganda about Hamas without making unfounded statements.
As to claim that "Hamas will use such a state as a launch pad to continue to wage war" well, I suggest you stick to facts and avoid crystal ball-gazing.
