Those are the words of the son of a top Hamas leader! Amazing! Talk about the power of God:
The son of one of the most popular leaders in the Hamas terrorist organization has moved to the U.S. and converted to Christianity, it has emerged.So, here we have a solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, conversion to Christianity :-) Doesn't look like there will be peace if Hamas has it's way:[...]
"I know that I'm endangering my life and am even liable to lose my father, but I hope that he'll understand this and that God will give him and my family patience and willingness to open their eyes to Jesus and to Christianity. Maybe one day I'll be able to return to Palestine and to Ramallah with Jesus, in the Kingdom of God," Masab said.
Masab said he previously aided his father with Hamas activities, but he now has affection for Israel and laments Hamas.
"You Jews should be aware: You will never, but never have peace with Hamas. Islam, as the ideology that guides them, will not allow them to achieve a peace agreement with the Jews. They believe that tradition says that the Prophet Muhammed fought against the Jews and that therefore they must continue to fight them to the death."Those of you who fault Israel for not working toward peace might want to heed the words of a man who was part of Hamas.

"What would you have proposed for Northern Ireland?"
A more thorough understanding of this:
ESV 1 John 4:20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Rob, thanks for your insight. It is clear that both sides have grievances against the other and that true peace will probably only come when both sides decide they no longer want to fight. I can't see that happening on the Palestinian side and I'm not sure what there is for the Israelite can do to make it happen.
What do you think they can do when the other side wants them to cease to exist?
Israel has a record of adhering to peace treaties, the Palestinians DO NOT!
"So, here we have a solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, conversion to Christianity"
echoes from 912 years ago... a rallying cry for christian crusades?
unfortunately some people don't understand that you don't have to be christian to understand peace and to want peace. and as Moonshadow correctly points out, being christian does not guarantee peace, either. thinking otherwise is being naive.
both have ignored UN resolutions meant to bring peace.
