Completely agree with every word. I believe there were options available to Hamas than setting fire to children - and many successful liberation movements seem to have managed without such actions.

I also think the violence and the defence of violence we've seen has had the very significant impact of alienating moderate Israelis from the idea of granting concessions to the Palestinians; sort of like 'We fought for peace and you killed us anyway.'
