Most Israelis think their government should negotiate with Hamas for a cease-fire in Gaza and the release of a captured soldier, according to a poll reported Wednesday in a leading Israeli newspaper.
The poll, conducted by the newspaper Haaretz and the polling company Dialog, found 64 percent of Israelis in favor of talks with the Islamist movement.
"It now appears that this opinion is gaining traction in the wider public, which until recently vehemently rejected such negotiations," according to the newspaper.
"According to the findings, Israelis are fed up with seven years of Qassam rockets falling on Sderot and the communities near Gaza, as well as the fact that [Gilad] Shalit has been held captive for more than a year and a half," the newspaper said.
And then terrorists around the world will see that continued bombing will get your way. It's an extremely bad idea to negotiate with terrorists. Let's not forget these are the same people who put bombs on city buses and restaurants, and they didn't care if they killed innocent people.
The American people would certainly never negotiate with Al-Qaeda, so why are 64% of Israel wanting to talk with Hamas? I guess those 64% are willing to do anything to make the attacks stop, even if it means bowing to terrorist demands.
