This question is addressed specifically to people living in Palestine either in the West Bank or Gaza?

Question

What do you think of the plan to leave Hamas out of the proposed peace talks between Israel and Palestine....Also of the role of Tony Blair as Peace envoy.

To BMCR: You are right, you are not one to whom this question is addressed. You do , however, have a right to put in your 2 cents but you should also be aware of the symbiotic relationship that exists between Israel and the organization you claim is calling for that State's obliteration. http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=8449. This is not new information by the way. It is pretty much accepted by several sources.

I specifically added more time to this question because I think it is important to hear from the Palestinian people who in a free and fair election in January 2006 overwhelmingly gave Hamas a majority in the new Palestinian parlement. What does it mean to you that this voice is not a part of the proposed peace process.

Answer 1

hamas was elected , fatah lost the election
fatah is acting as the capo's did in the deathcamps of ww2 , ie serving the nasties by oppressing thier own people

leaving some out is standard natzi practice refined , over 50 years ,that the palisteins been living in the ghettos ,called giza and west bank

time will reveal that fatah will get no different 'treatment' than hamas ,blair has been given no powers to negotiate
closed ears cant negotiate , clearly israels ears are closed ,

what did arrafat 's recognition of israel achieve him [home imprisonment] blair is known as bush's poodle , we see what the us foreign ''affairs '' woman [cond rice] ''achieved ''
nothing

we dont even need to ask why [weak man cant make peace ]
let sharron out of his induced coma , only strong men can enforce peace

Answer 2

whilst im not living in palestine, i think its just incredably stupid to leave hamas out of the peace talks. Without inviting everyone into talks, how can peace possibly exsist. and maybe if the west and israel had reconigsed hamas as the legitimete elected reprensitive of the palestinian people, hamas wouldn't have siezed control of gaza

Answer 3

I think peace talks are useless, there will never be peace, its just good PR for politicians like Blair to get involved. As for Hamas, they are admittedly a terrorist organization, "peace" goes against their principles so why would they even want "in" since they do not want peace anyway.

You think it is incredibly stupid to leave an anti semitic terrorist organization who stated goals are the obliteration of one of the parties to the peace process?
