An updated version of an article I originally published in the January/February 2009 edition of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs entitled Reflections in a Mirror: Hamas and the Israeli Politik was recently made available online at the Palestine Chronicle. I have included a link to the article below.
In the article, I compare the platforms of the major Israeli political parties and Hamas. This comparison is important because the rational used by Israel for not negotiating with Hamas hinges on the fact that Hamas' charter calls for the elimination of Israel. I assert that both the platforms and the on the ground actions of the major Israeli political parties in the West Bank eliminate the possibility of a truly sovereign Palestinian state.
