The dream is that Palestinians will blame Hamas.

I doubt if this is the case. There has been 60 years of blaming Israel - with widely varying degrees of justification - for every thing bad that happens to Palestinians.

I doubt if this will weaken Hamas. It will probably strengthen it.

A typically foolish move by the Olmert government.
