Hilare's comments: " Pipes being on the "moderate islam exists and will take over" way of thinking, i am sure he is not sharing with my opinion that Hamas is a perfect synthesis of the whole islamic world. Anyway the next twenty years will show us who is right or not ( with nuclear bombs spreading more and more, no doubt that the answer will be brilliant, even if 'luminous' could be more descriptive ), and i will not bet a single grain of sand on 'moderate islam'..."

It is precisely the people who hold beliefs and make comments such as that do not want peace. It is people like You and the likes of you that serves as the true baracade between peace of two people, and rather make comments which blockade the path and prevent the mind from even being able to conceive the probability of a just peace, and undermines any attempts and bleiefs of any reasonable type of peace attempt being achieved. Its people like you that aren't willing to be open long enough so that hopefully in the near future the fight and occupation will come to rest. Its people like you that continually and pre-emptively reject the possibility of peace as a probability and as something you want , contributes substantially to the inability for peace to work today--people like you don't want it
