Rift in Middle East can't get any deeper

In "Deadlines and demands" (editorial, July 4), The Sun states that with the Israeli offensive, "the danger is that the two sides will be driven into ever more violent and irreconcilable differences."

The charter of Hamas already calls for the destruction of the state of Israel.

So how much more "irreconcilable" can the differences become?
