How about his alleged “objective ally”, Hamas? 14 Hamas needs a war right now less than Netanyahu does, but it’s always up for one. 15 16 17 Its business model is perpetual rejection of 18 19 peace with Israel, in the expectation that divine intervention will one day deliver total 20 21 22 victory and eliminate the Jewish state. Hamas is therefore in permanent 23 24 competition with Fatah, the rival Palestinian political movement that accepted the (now 25 26 27 28 29 moribund) “two-state solution” which 30 31 32 envisaged Israeli and Palestinian states living side by side. A little war with Israel now and 33 34 35 36 37 38 then is good for Hamas’s image. The Hamas-Netanyahu “objective alliance” 39 40 is based on the fact that Netanyahu hates the idea of a two-state solution just as 41 42 43 much as Hamas does. Indeed, they began by 44 strangling that deal together in 1995-96, and most of the shooting since has been about 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 keeping it dead. The deal came out of the Oslo Accords of 55 56 57 1992, in which Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat 58 59 60 agreed to move towards two parallel states 61 62 living in peace. Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish right- 63 64 65 66 wing extremist, but everybody expected his successor, Shimon Peres, to win the 1996 67 election on a sympathy vote and go through with the Oslo deal. Instead, Hamas went on 68 69 70 71 72 a terrorist spree, bombing buses in Israel to 73 74 75 cause maximum casualties, in order to drive Israeli voters into the arms of the anti-Oslo 76 77 78 79 80 Accords nationalist right instead. It succeeded, and the right-wing candidate, 81 82 83 ex-commando Binyamin Netanyahu, became prime minister instead and sabotaged the 84 85 86 “peace process”. It was never very likely to 87 succeed, but Hamas and Netanyahu both act as objective allies whenever the corpse of the 88 89 two-state solution threatens to rise from its shallow grave.
