Hamas has accepted two-state solution, Israel has not

Hamas has accepted two-state solution, Israel has not

Re: “Palestinians need an uprising – but not against Israel”, Have Your Say, yesterday.

Alf Haupt believes that the atrocities Israel is committing are a result of the militancy of Hamas. I wonder if he’s aware that Hamas – and even Iran, which supported the Saudi Arabian peace initiative – have said in the past they would be willing to live in peace with Israel as part of a two-state solution.
But let’s pretend that Gandhi himself was a Palestinian and the president of the Palestinian people. Even he could not negotiate an acceptable settlement with Israel as long as it continues to spread the Jewish settlements in the Occupied Territories and thus steal the very land they’re suppose to be negotiating over.
What people refuse to understand is that Israel would rather steal land than live in peace with the Palestinian people.
