For anyone calling for Israel to negotiate a peaceful, lasting solution to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, I have two simple words: Hamas Charter.
Please, Google it and read it. Released in 1988, the Charter is the constitution of Hamas. Knowing what it says helps one understand that while peace between Israel and Hamas -- as opposed to temporary "truces" where Hamas simply reloads -- would be wonderful, at present, it's impossible.
Why? Because while the world calls for a two-state solution in the region -- a secure Israel living in peace beside an independent Palestine -- Hamas calls for the obliteration of Israel and its replacement by an Islamic waqf.
As the Hamas Charter states: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it has obliterated others before it ... the land of Israel is an Islamic Waqf, consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgment Day."
Hamas is also very clear about what "Judgment Day" means.
Again, from its Charter: "The day of judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews (and kill them), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stone and trees will say, 'O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him'."
