If on the other-hand they do nothing and Israel announces that they are done with the bloodshed and lay down their arms what do you think the response would be from Radical Islam?

I'll tell you...Praise Allah, Death to Israel.

How about some intellectual honesty from those of you who condemn Israel and support Hamas and the actions of other militant Islamic groups.

If Hamas stops all violence and threats Israel will stop and ease the restriction in place to protect them. If Israel stops the violence from Hamas will escalate.
