[QUOTE=Starpluck;49905405]I am aware, but Likud is the current leading government of Israel. And I only post Likud's charter in spite of the repeated linking and referencing of Hamas' charter despite its irrelevance. You may be aware of the rhetoric stemming from Hamas' very old charter which is the opposite of these recent claims by Hamas:

And:
The charter was born out of inhospitable conditions of the occupation in 1988 was drafted by some unlinked Imam nearly 30 years ago. Yet, you see these statements of committal that Hamas makes in direct contradiction of their charter.
My point was more or less how these charters and the often claims of "calling for the destruction of Israel" is wholly irrelevant in Israeli-Palestinian discourse.[/QUOTE]
Agreed.
Also, look, there's no argument Israel has been mostly paying lip service to the two-state solution for the last couple of decades.
The desperation that stems from the complete failure of every previous attempt at peace or even separation, the same desperation that leads more and more Israelis to abandon any hopes for peace and keep putting assholes like Netanyahu in office, is the desperation that brings so many young Palestinians to pick up kitchen knives and commit suicide-by-cop trying to stab innocent Israelis.
You're totally right about that.
But the fact remains that the reason they are doing this, the great lie that that started this wave of bloodshed is the lie that Israel is planning to take over the Temple Mount. That's categorically false. And this, along with both the PA and Hamas celebrating each new kid that kill or dies trying to kill Jews as a martyr is exactly what's keeping this murder train going.
And there's no way in the world you can justify that.
I am glad we can come to an agreement.
