Reply #11: Well, Gaza will talk to it. [View All]

But if that is not in your repertoire of ideas, than I don't know where to go with it. Hamas has always been willing to talk, it is the Israeli government that is not willing to talk, lest it give legitimacy to Hamas, which does not really need the Israeli government to give it legitimacy, but whatever. Hamas is also willing to talk to the PA, but not on condition of giving up the electoral victory they won fair and square, so not on terms of admitting their own political illegitimacy. But what the fuck do you think "Gaza" wants but the services that it depends on Israel to provide? Gaza's dependency on Israel is not something that Gazans democratically choose, it was forced on them during the period when Israel was trying to colonize it (i.e. before the Gaza "withdrawal".)
