Hamas' brutal murders last week and this show why it is vital that they are not given a veto over any peace process - they don't want peace. What they want is the destruction of Israel by violent means.
Hamas claim that these murders were in retaliation for Salah Shehadeh's assassination, but no excuse is possible for the deliberate murder of civilians.
