    No you may not offer your opinion as that isn't an opinion, just an uncosnstructive little comment.

    Generally opinion is stated in more than one sentence, I might listen to you, and reply to you, if you can do that instead of using foul language.

    I think it's a rather good summary of your opinion, as there isn't really any evidence that Hamas would stop.

    The evidence for the Palestinian militants stopping their experiments in applied backyards rocketry in response to having bombs thrown their way has also, AFAIK, been somewhat hard to come by overall.

    It occurs to me that giving them an opportunity to actually try to govern Gaza might keep them too preoccupied for a while to cause trouble, though.

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Its not really Hamas you need to convince, its the paelstinian people, as soon as thier grievances are met thier not going to support terrorists anymore, the terrorists are going to be the more extreme portion of the society so they're going to have extreme rhetoric, but like the IRA rhetoric it will cool down once they are negoiated with

    The only reason Hamas exists is to serve the grievences of the people of Gaza, they have no real political concpt outside of the people of Gaza. Hamas exixts on the idea of resistance, not conquest.
