Olmert’s Decision of Attacking Hamas is fatal

Olmert’s decision of attacking Hamas group could brake the relation between the leaders, and notably will cause the chaos to the lower levels. The two groups Israel and Palestinian might not be ended by the "sword" from a very long time the these groups of Abrahamic were collapsing, now is the moment on making how the two could stay together and coordinate each other. The statement made by Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday of new strike against the radical Islamist Hamas movement is announced after another missile attack on the Israeli border town of Sderot. From this statement we could take into account that reason of Olmert’s decision is not for the defensive purpose but for revenge and attack on the Palestinian side. "We decide when, how and where we act without accepting any conditions from outside", Olmert said in the cabinet meeting. The meeting is due to the rocket attack on Sderot and killed a thirty six year old Israeli when the missile launched from the Gaza Strip hit his car in the town center on Sunday morning May 27, 2007, and injuring another Israeli. The military arm of Hamas took responsibility for the attack. Though Hamas is a radical Muslim, we believe they could make coordination to Israel part, and make an agreement on how to create a peace between the two. They would accept the agreement with conditions. There would be a loss to each other when the Israel’s military strikes to Palestinian, because the Palestinian will attack on them by the rocket fire. The statement made by Olmert without accepting any conditions from outside, also could destroy the relation to other countries, and may broke their economy and bilateral relation at the external level. Hamas and other Islamic radical groups are appointing their missile towards the Israelian parts are due to the attack from the Israel’s military and for the defensive purpose, their missile is not high-tech like what the Israel’s military posses. Furthermore, to restore the peace of the two groups could not be done by the "swords", it should be done by the co-relation and agreement, we all hope that the collapse in Jerusalem could be solved and reduce the lost of innocent civilians.
