Of course it does. This whole situation can be alleviated in a matter if 24 hours by Hamas. The leadership of the Palestinians is to blame for what is happening to them. You have is upside down. That's always been the case. Again, all that Hamas has to do, is something it is clearly capable of, stop the rockets.
Israel's worst nightmare is that Hamas stops firing rockets into Israel.
The last thing they want is Hamas as a neighbor, violent or non-violent.
Hoffy, you appear to believe you know what 'Israel' wants: I don't think such an assumption is at all reasonable, never mind what the content is.
However, as to the content: NOBODY wants HAMAS as a neighbor, and half of Gaza doesn't want them, period. Never mind what Israel may want: HAMAS sux.
