A sobering characteristic is emerging from Hamas. Haniyeh and Mashal both, use grandiose theatrics or macho language. In public and media `truce` policy demonstrations. It`s as if they`re in a school yard or an a basketball court. Pounding their chest gorilla-like. I realize the posturing is meant for internal consumption. Or to send a message to the Israeli side. But it certainly has an immature political tone. And most times produces negative results. Logic dictates that before negotiation or compromise can materialize. An accommodational tone from top Hamas leadership needs to flower. Else, both sides find themselves in a rotating mouse cage.
