Keep attacking Gaza. Talk would only lead to less land for Israel. The more they can drag this out the more land they can steal.

I'm pretty sure its the Israeli's who want to talk, Hamas is the one lobbing rockets over the border and promting retailiatory strikes.

Seriously, remember that this is Jimmy Carter....not a bad guy and tries to do the right things but is the last person to speak on behalf of Hamas or relay what they say. How many times has Hamas leadership cry for the wipe out of Israel, its part of their written statement and all of the sudden it is going to change because Jimmy Carter spoke to them? Be realistic.....its a ploy by Hamas and nothing more and Carter fell for it.

Can anyone honestly say that Hamas would stop its actions if the borders were restored.....I just don't believe that at all. It would be a miracle.

Palestinians are so fragmented. That even if Hamas, somehow, if they're not lying, say they will stop all the shit. It still won't actually stop. These people can't even get along with each other. I, personally, have no hope for the Palestinians. A lost cause.

I think Hamas militants are nutjobs, but if the talks lead to a peace agreement why not?  The other option is to continue with the mess the region is now.

I totally agree but I highly doubt ANYTHING will be constructive with Hamas. It is just too radical and its philosophies just dont mesh with working with Israel. I do believe that the Palestinian leadership needs to step up and just sit down with Israel, regardless of what Hamas thinks but as others have said...they cant even get along with themselves. Anyhow, I think it is just too early to have a parade because Carter talked with Hamas and claims that they said what he claims....let's hear it straight from Hamas and if they are serious about what they said to Carter then the bombings and rockets would stop ASAP.

Yeah, sometimes I think they are their worst enemy, but we should give them the opportunity to change.  If they are ready to accept Israel, and stop the rocket attacks, Israel should deal with them.

Agreed.  If they want to talk, they must stop the rockets.

Not talking to Hamas is not an option. Hamas are not going away. They represent the majority of the Palestinian population. The Brits baulked at the idea of talking to the IRA for many years, which only resulted in prolonging the agony for those caught up in 'The Troubles'. Bottom line is this: nothing about this situation can progress without including Hamas. The alternative is perpetual status quo until someone devises a cunning way to poison the Israeli water supply or dirty bomb Tel Aviv.

No but for one thing, im not naive to think the blame is only Israels. Nor am I naive enough to believe something Hamas says, unlike you appear to be.

I don't place the blame just on Israel.  I just pointed out that Hamas, the extremists, "say" (this you can believe or not) they are ready to deal with Israel.  I may be naive, but at least I want them to live in peace.  The other option is war.

I really hope he is right and that they will accept Israel. I have serious doubts though.
I have recently looked at the Charter of Hamas .
It is an old document however is probably still current and highlights the level of hatred that Hamas has for Israel. Some of it is ridiculous, such as

Charter of Hamas wrote:

The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad, which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim).
Some is pure hatred such as

Charter wrote:

Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.
and

Charter wrote:

Peace initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement.
There is a little hope though

charter wrote:

Hamas is a humane movement, which cares for human rights and is committed to the tolerance inherent in Islam as regards attitudes towards other religions. It is only hostile to those who are hostile towards it, or stand in its way in order to disturb its moves or to frustrate its efforts. Under the shadow of Islam it is possible for the members of the three religions: Islam, Christianity and Judaism to coexist in safety and security
Having said that, unless the deep seated hatred can be changed ( such as the terms of this Charter) then I cant see too much change happening. I really hope I am wrong though, and that this is a sign of peace.

No the other option is Hamas stands down and lets the Palestinians lead the lives they want. Rather than having people like you blame Israel for every injustice in the conflict, when infact Hamas is the cause of most of the problems.

The problems were there long before Hamas. If Hamas say they want to sort out peace, why not see if they mean it. The current situation is clearly not going to end itself. Israel need to seek peace because, as a small nation, they can only afford to loose once. One WMD in the hands of agrieved people could very well be the end of the situation and the end of Israel.
The Israeli scholar YL Talmon writes that "Israel may be able to win and win and go on winning till its last breath, win itself to death.

Why wont the pro palistinians address the fact that no one is in control of the militants. Having hamas call for a truce means nothing if they themselves cant stop the rockets. This makes it ridiculous to put the burden on Israel.

Great point and is what I feel as well. How do you sit down with a group that has a charter that states the goal of the elimination of your country and daily sends rockets into populated areas without any regard of who it hits.

It is very simple....if Hamas is really serious about peace or truce...they will stop the rockets, until that happens...how can their word be taken seriously. How about publicly announcing the truce and peace effort THEMSELVES instead of Carter and how about revising its Charter to show the sincerity of these words.

Wouldn't it be nice if one side proved its case for peace. I don't care who, one side should prove to the world that they want peace and just sit back and let the other side continue its BS. Eventually the world would be shown who is in it for peace, who has the most restraint and who is willing to take that first step. The side that doesn't would look really bad and wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

I think this thread is more of the same, unfortunately.

One week, there's a thread about how the Israelis want peace.
The next week, there's a thread about how the Hamas want peace.
The third week, there's a thread about how the Hamas screwed up the peace talks.
And then the fourth week, there's a thread about how the Israelis screwed up the peace talks.

So what week are we in again?

After Mr Carter's remarks, Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal stressed that Hamas would not formally recognise Israel.
Hamas had reiterated its position that it could accept an Israeli state within its pre-1967 borders and live in peace with Israel, he said.
Ok..
