Absolutely not. But here is what should concern all of us. Hamas, in the face of impossible odds, continues to wage war against Israel. Their effectiveness is nil. But they continue to lob missiles and mortars towards enemy.

It seems to be totally illogical what they are doing, except that they are demonstrating to others in Gaza and the West Bank that they are willing to sacrifice their lives knowing full well that they are no threat to Israel. The hatred on both sides continues to grow. Moderates on both sides are in the background.

I now fear that the odds that Hamas, Hezbollah, or other Jihadist groups WILL use a nuclear weapon on Israel given the chance. And of course Israel would counter attack if it isn't disabled.

Israel is stuck with only bad choices - they can either continue with apartheid which will only result in future similar conflicts or they can annex the West Bank & Gaza and give the Palestinians full rights and citizenship. No guarantee that the latter would result in peace and it is no doubt a risky deal. I think the 2 state solution is now dead.

The Zionist dream of an Israel which encompasses all of the West Bank & Gaza will not come to fruition with paying a price. The zealots on the other side are beyond thinking rationally - decades of 2nd class status with limited freedoms has resulted in a environment of hatred that is passed from one generation to another.
