According to Ma’ariv (Hebrew) these are the conditions:

Withdrawal of Israeli tanks from the Gaza border.

Freeing all the prisoners that were arrested after the killing of the three youths.

Lifting the siege and opening the border crossings to commerce and people.

Establishing an international seaport and airport which would be under U.N. supervision.

Increasing the permitted fishing zone to 10 kilometers.

Internationalizing the Rafah Crossing and placing it under the supervision of the U.N. and some Arab nations.

International forces on the borders.

Easing conditions for permits to pray at the Al Aqsa Mosque.

Prohibition on Israeli interference in the reconciliation agreement.

Reestablishing an industrial zone and improvements in further economic development in the Gaza Strip.

What Chaqa said.

Also:

"Lifting the siege and opening the border crossings to commerce and people."

Yeah...when you live next to an internationally-recognized terror group...

The border's not opening up. Especially when they just showed how little regard they have for your security by tunneling across and emerging near a kibbutz.

So if Israel agrees to not defend itself, then Hamas will stop attacking. Not much of a deal.

Also, FFS, can we please not make any more threads about this.

Put it under UN control since they can't even keep Hamas from putting rockets inside UN controlled schools, and they have been so ineffective everywhere else.

"It is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself, whom is the victim of violent attacks."

--Malcolm X

I'm going to stand up for the Israeli Militants this time - it's obviously a raw deal to complain to the Israelis about their defensive measures when they are facing continual threats. If the anti-Israelis would not like for the Israelis to invest in defensive measures, then they should consider reducing the frequency of attacks against Israel.

Sorry about this, but I am trying to be fair and impartial.

Putin33 (111 )

And let's not forget Israel broke the 2012 truce with their attack on the West Bank that preceded this siege.

Putin33 (111 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

If Israel wants the frequency of attacks to decrease, then end the siege and stop breaking the last truce that was made. Hamas has no reason to believe that Israel will abide by any agreements it makes since it hasn't followed them yet.

since I typed enough, I thought this recent piece by Peter Beinart best sums up what Israel can do to bring at least a better peace than what has existed. He identifies a key point which is easing the blockade on, not so much what goes in, but what comes out. Give it a read:

And Israel has no reason to believe that Hamas will agree to a peaceful coexistence because the elimination of Israel is part of their charter. So where does that leave us, Putin? To me it comes down to lifestyle. In Israel I would be afforded similar freedoms as I have now, no matter my religion. Under Hamas' rule I'd he put to death (just like you would be Putin...unless you convert to jihadist Islam). I'll back the former over the latter every time.

obiwanobiwan (248 )

"Somehow the right to self-defense doesn't apply to Palestinians."

Sorry, when did the right to self defense include the indiscriminate rocketing of cities and deliberate rocketing of civilians?

See, where I come from, that's murder with just a touch of genocidal intent that, thankfully, they can't realize...yet.

This is the harshest thing you've said about Israel yet

Randomizer (722 )

"And let's not forget Israel broke the 2012 truce with their attack on the West Bank that preceded this siege."

Some columnists in the Wall Street Journal reported that Hamas attacked because they believed that Israel had discovered the tunnel system and if they didn't attack they would lose them. Hamas rushed to attack before they completely lost their new attack method and be unable to get more Israeli hostages.

obiwanobiwan (248 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

"This is the harshest thing you've said about Israel yet"

Except Israel isn't indiscriminate, and it'd be a hell of a lot easier to avoid civilian casualties when Hamas wasn't telling them to stay put to use as the perfect terrorist combo, shields in life and propaganda in death.

But truly that inaccurate statement and blithe defense of Hamas practices was worth a cheap quip.

"Where does being dead get you, Yang?"

On the next Hamas recruitment poster, trip.

Chairman Sheng-Ji Yang (0 )

"Except Israel isn't indiscriminate,"

You're right, Israel is deliberate in their rocketing of cities and civilians. Good point.

obiwanobiwan (248 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

Actually, that'd be Hamas you're thinking of...

Israel attacks targets within the city because beloved Hamas is so wonderful as to hide them in UN safe zones and hospitals...you know, the kind of place a kind, caring, benevolent, and civilian-caring government chooses.

Meanwhile, Hamas closes its eyes and fires blindly into Israel, hoping to hit anyone or anything at all, bonus points if they actually kill someone.

But why take facts when you can have cheap, pithy punchlines?

Congrats, Chairman...you've sunk to the level of the rest of us.
