I am pretty sure that is correct.

But Hamas, which just won a pretty overwhelming little election in Palestine (and I do mean Palestine as Israel has given in to their autonomy), does not recognize Israel. And therein lies the problem. They wish for the death and total destruction of Israel, and thats just not gonna happen.
So as long as the Palestinians are represented by elected terrorists, both Palestinians and Israelis will suffer. It is much clearer now. The cards are turned up on the table.
