Regrets? I Have A Few
What on earth did the leader of Hamas expect. He poked a sleeping Lion and is suffering the consequences. The plan of his didn't come together as he hoped. Now his actions have bought consequences because he failed to read his history.
Israel has been attacked, in the past,by Egypt, Syria and Jordan. All were given a sound thrashing and beaten. It would seem they learnt lessons from the past. King Hussein made a peace pact to save his throne and country from Israel.
A Israeli General said after these several wars" We are a resilient country. Our greatest weapon in our armoury, in order to ensure our peace, is to instil fear in us. If that fear of us is broken we must re-establish it "
Well done Hamas . You have killed thousands and it's too late to have regrets.

I believe he sees Hamas as 'martyrs' and 'freedom fighters'.
I also think he puts the rest of the word's view that they are terrorists, is down to a simple misunderstanding.
i wonder if in my life time, will we see an end to all this violence in that part of the world, i think gaza and the west bank on either side of israel is a bad idea, imho israel should make gaza part of israel, gazans if they wish can go to the west bank, of become israeli, maybe jordan could give a little land to the west bank, mostly desert anyway...just an idea.

o god fender - heaven forfend ( pun- geddit?) you become Foreign Secretary. Gaza IS part of Israel - that is why they are there, durr, dates from 1948 - and West Bank was a reprise ( er repeat that is) 1968, and is the 'occupied west bank' because incorporation against the will of the majority there, failed.
