Hamas sees no profit in ending the violence and they are correct. If they agree to a complete ceasefire what have they gained? The right to allow those still alive to continuing living? That would put them right back where they started or worse.
The Palestinian leadership MUST demand the end to Israel's stalling of settling the borders and providing access to allow Palestine to develop their country and instill an economy.
This is where it all gets lost and why the violence continues. Every time there is an incursion by Israel, the SAME TERMS are demanded; "Hamas ends the violence and Israel will end the violence." End of negotiations. Why would that change the future of those fighting Israel? It doesn't. It only allows Israel to continue it's aggression into the West Bank with settlements and puts the Palestinian people further behind in what they call 'their land.'
Hamas isn't going to stop and they don't care if Israel states they are terrorists. Hamas knows what they are doing and they do see the Palestinian leadership as weak. They have lost ground, literally, for decades and it is becoming more and more difficult to see the future.
The Palestine leadership are good people, but, they must demand borders and rights to access to the world even through the fighting. This is over. Either Israel commits to what is Palestine's right to exist and stops occupying it's land or the fighting may never cease. Does Israel think simply because they own all the land and occupy all the land the fighting will stop? That is foolishness and greed.
