Thomas L. Friedman's "Good Advice"

Sayeth the NYT sage:

I think Hamas is dedicated to Israel’s destruction and has been a disaster for the Palestinians. But it is a deeply rooted organization. It controls Gaza. It is not going away. I don’t think America or Israel have anything to lose by engaging Hamas to see if a different future is possible.

Calling upon Israel to "engage" hateful fanatics intent on its destruction? Now, that's just plain dumb. A wiser person might have observed that a different future is possible only if the Palestinians are willing to disengage from Hamas.
