If Israel wanted confidence, they would have always been willing to negotiate with Hamas.

To be clear, I am not a fan of Hamas. But Israel has the power here, so I keep my focus on Israel.

And I agree with people like Norman Finkelstein who say Israel has made captives of all the Palestinians.

I agree the UN should take over, but they should take over the entire land.

And no, there's nothing legitimate about the present borders. Israel attacked first to steal land in '67.
