We're not bound by peace deal - militants

Although no formal ceasefire was signed at the summit, it was widely seen as a step back towards negotiations on a US-backed "road map" for a Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel.

But Islamic militants behind suicide bombings, rocket attacks and shootings said they were not bound by Abbas's ceasefire, though they would continue to follow a de facto truce at his behest.

"The announcement... of a ceasefire expresses the position only of the Palestinian Authority," said Mushir al-Masri of Hamas, which is committed to destroying Israel.

The two sides also remain far apart on issues that led to the collapse of talks for a Palestinian state on land occupied by Israel in the 1967 war - like borders, and whether Palestinian refugees get a "right to return" to land in what is now Israel.

IOL

as it happened in the film Thunderdome and watch them kill each other. They are both cut from the same cloth, and they are both terrorists.

put them in a trauma center - where undifferentiated terror victims are brought in (some Muslims, some Jews, some Christians) and "put them through the same exercise" as probationary EMTs and Paramedics (and first year nursing students and definitely first year med students :)).

If they come out as pacifists - good.

If they out as sociopaths (which is what happens to some) -- just do the Thunderdome thing.

Oh please, the Roadmap is a dead end with no real goal other than vagure promises.

Give me something along the lines of the Geneva Accord.

L-

and you have to say "what's not to like" about it, I remain cynical.
