A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    I guess I’m very confused about the way you used term ‘put down for good’ to mean ‘made ineffective, but maybe only temporarily’ or why you think this conflict wouldn’t also take decades.

    Do you think when people have a pet put down, they actually send it to live on a farm upstate?

      Yeah I guess there is no point in continuing this discussion here…and no I don’t think that Osama is on a farm right now, but maybe you do. And yes “made ineffective, but maybe only temporarily” is a desiable state for the current situation since it can pretty much mean that they are done. But like I said no point in discussing this any further with you ;)

            Apparently you also do not know what the phrase “I guess there is no point in continuing this discussion here” means.
