I don’t believe Hamas is the problem, I believe it’s a symptom of the problem. The problem is the mentality and sentiment of the Arab world in general, and as a result, the Palestinian Arabs in particular. There is a tremendous amount of pride that is front and center in the Arab world, and westerners really do not relate to it or understand it. Most westerners can’t fathom that someone would forgo a significantly higher standard of living in exchange for remaining committed to a political ideology. Even if you knock out every last Hamas member, the sentiment of the Palestinians will produce another organization which has a near identical description. All you’ll have accomplished is kicking the can down the road and possibly setting yourself up for false expectations and greater danger in the future. Being unprepared is the greatest danger, and false expectations produces unpreparedness. The only way to prevent such a group from being formed is to completely occupy and control all the Arab cities. They did that after 1967, and there was great economic success and development. The problem was that the Arab pride was humiliated, and they eventually rejected all the goodies and took the path of war resistance instead. Israel has no interest in controlling the Palestinians. Instead it allows the Hamas problem to remain small, and every time it gets too big Israel goes in and smashes it down to crumbs again. They know Hamas will regroup and rebuild, but it’s safer to have the small transparent problem of Hamas than to have the large and hidden problem of a population which contains an ideological powder keg which can explode without warning.

Ageed, If the palestinians want this to stop give up Hamas, every man and his dog will know where Hamas are !

you dont need to give me a history lesson i am very well aware of the history of Isreal The Balfour Declaration was a public pledge by Britain, declaring its aim to establish "a national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. The statement came in the form of a letter from Britain's then foreign secretary, Arthur Balfour, addressed to Lionel Walter Rothschild, a figurehead of the British Jewish community. But the declaration was by no means formulated and decided upon overnight - rather, it had been in the works for years, involved many people and was drafted numerous times before being sent out. The pledge is generally viewed as one of the main catalysts of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 and the creation of the Zionist state of Israel. Rothschild did not persuaded Balfour he was the reciver as the figurehead of the British Jewish community please try to get you facts correct
