7-10-2014 How Israel should deal with Hamas – Hilik Bar [Labor MK] The Telegraph

Hamas can't be defeated by military action alone – Israel must outflank the movement by taking other steps including embracing the Arab peace offer

 

…In order for the dialogue and the process to succeed, Israel's government should present a vision of peace that truly addresses not only our security and other needs but also the needs and the future of the Palestinian people. To defeat Hamas, Israel should be more accurate and sophisticated than yet another IDF smart bomb. It is possible to undermine Hamas; the question is just how and if we have the patience, courage and political wisdom necessary to do it properly. And yes, we also need vision and leadership, but, admittedly, that is something of a luxury in the crazy neighbourhood in which we live.
