For a walking dead man, Hamas leader Ismail Abu Shanab was
unimpressed by the assassins who would one day come for
him. "I am not afraid," he said as we sat drinking tea in his Gaza
City home. "If the Israelis want to kill me, they will. We live in
war, but the Palestinians are tough enough to confront the huge
power facing them. We are not afraid to die."

More.......

In the coming months, the same worthless mortal calculus will
be enacted again among the innocent in the Middle East; on
buses in Jerusalem and on Palestinian streets. The blood will
never stop until it is accepted that there can be no military
solution to the conflict.

A worthy read
