Israel and the Palestinians: June 2003 Archives

I like to think I keep an open mind on many things, and tried very hard to look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from both points of view.

However, what in the name of Nebuchenezzer does Hamas think it is trying to achieve by trying to derail the peace process with it's huge suicide bomb yesterday, and todays threat to "turn the Zionist entity's state into rubble".

Don't they realise that they are playing directly into the hands of Ariel Sharon, who agreed to the peace plan only under extreme pressure from Washington, and who visited Aqaba last week only under pressure from Washington.

Mr Sharon is just itching for an excuse to continue military action, and to have the peace process derailed, and be able to blame it on the palestinian side. Don't forget this "man of peace" was responsible for the massacre of hundreds of palestinians in 1982.

Could someone explain to me what the hell they think they are trying to achieve?

I don't want that crap about how the Palestinians have been mercilessly persecuted by the Israeli's. I know all about the human rights abuses perpetrated over the years on this front. I want to know why, when they were this -> <- close to getting the peace plan back on track they have to fuck it up so spectacularly.
