Middle East: The Israeli View

From Yonit Farago in Jerusalem

FRIMET ROTH is full of rage at Hamas’s surge to power. Four years ago a Hamas suicide bomber blew up a pizza shop in Jerusalem, killing her 15-year-old daughter, Malki, and 14 others.

“Nothing has changed,” says Mrs Roth. “Hamas wants the destruction of the state of Israel just the same; only now they have learnt how to talk to the media.”

In a country that has lost more than 430 citizens to Hamas suicide bombs in the past five years, many believe the decision to withdraw from Gaza gave Hamas a huge boost. “For them, that was a clear indication that the way of terror was worthwhile,” Mrs Roth said.

Surprisingly, many Israelis said that their Government should negotiate with Hamas. One poll showed 48 per cent in favour.

Yitzhak Frankenthal, whose son was killed by Hamas, said: “The PLO also had a clause talking about the destruction of the state of Israel and they changed it. International pressure will bring Hamas to do the same”.
