Update
After reading some of the responses in the Israeli press and some of the responses by readers, I am amazed how blind and stupid the left is. There are still people saying, of course we will talk to Hamas, you make peace with enemies. I am sure that the Yossi Beilin's of the world would have wanted to talk peace with Hitler as well. Imagine, Hamas is saying we want to destroy you, you have no right to exist and yet these left wing idiots want to talk to them. What exactly do they think they are going to talk about? The flight arrangements back to Europe? Hamas means what it says, why is that so hard to understand? Professor Auman was so right , Peace Now is a very bad strategy to bring peace it brings war instead.

Um, how many of your kids are in the army?
Um, as for me, I have a child studying in Israel and another who will be there next year, G-d Willing. While they are not in the army, did it not occur to you that if Hamas attacks, not only are the soldiers in line of those weapons, but so is the general population. Do you really believe that talking to Hamas will result in Peace? Assuming you do have children in the IDF, are you willing to leave Israel, as Hamas is demanding?

I think it makes sense to try and stop the bloodshed. If that means attempting peace, so be it. Living in Israel is not one of the 3 cardinal sins that require marytrdom. I, like everyone else, love my kids more than anything - even more than Israel. If I'm living in that land, I want to try to make sure they stick around.
Now, I'm no moron. I know these people are bloodthirsty animal savages - the lowest form of human life on earth. But what's the alternative...blowing them to pieces? And having the rest of the Arab world, and the international community, blow us to bits?
Bluke,
I agree with you %100. I have been saying this for many years.
Considering that none of my kids are even Bar Mitzvah yet the question is not very relevant.
Anonymous,
Would you have been in favor of negotiating with Hitler during the war? Should the US negotiate with Bin Laden? Sometimes you need to realize that the other side needs to be defeated,period. In addition, they are just using peace talks to get something from you for nothing. This is the case IMHO with the Palestinians.
The bottom line is that Israel is not allowed to fight like any other nation would. Here you have a group that has basically declared war on Israel, but if Israel gets too tough with them, they go crying and hiding behind the weasly European skirts.
bluke-you have hit the nail on the head.
d.b.-beautiful perush and addition.
My fear is to secular israelis it will not be a wakeup call.
My wonder is if anyone's gonna wake up! Boy do we need Moshiach!
Anonymous, Conquest of Israel is a Milchemet Mitzvah. Check out Ramban Sefer HaMitzvot Mitzvot Mitzvah number four and it is Afvodah Zara o not perform a Milchemet Mitzvah
