Hamas and Israel: Will There Be Peace?
Hamas is pledged to the destruction of Israel. Israel exists because of the destruction of the Palestinian population within its borders, dating back to the 1947-48 war.
So will there be peace?
Probably not. Best case, the current low-level carnage continues indefinitely. Worst case, someone decides to go nuclear and take the other side down to hell. Hamas doesn't have any nukes. Israel already does. Some of those right-wingers in Israel already have a Masada complex, so look out for the West Bank and Gaza to glow first.
