Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent: Israel worried by report U.S. would aid Hamas-Fatah coalition
Talkback
Title:Give Gaza to Egypt or Independent Statehood
Name:Solomon the Wise
City: ChicagoState:
Let Gaza stand alone. To succeed or fail independent of Fatah. What a novel idea. It would enable Fatah led Palestinians to make a lasting peace with Israel and unshackle Abbas to the unrealistic perquisities demanded by Hamas to make peace. They are already outcasts among the moderate Palestinians and hell bent on Israel`s destruction. So, let them come to grips with the reality of living with Israel next door and a rival peace loving Palestine at peace in the West Bank. No U. S. money should directly or indirectly flow to Hamas. Only then will Gazans come to realize the error of electing terrorists as their leaders or submitting to their rule and throw off the yoke of an oppressive gang of terrorists. But, if not they can remain isolated like any other outcast. Conform to peace or wither. That should be their free choice. Then in facing off with Israel and Palestine (sans Gaza), we all can determine whom shall be forced into the sea.
