Hamas Wins in Palestine...
"Hamas and Fatah gunmen exchanged fire on Friday in political turmoil as the long-dominant Fatah faction was threatened with a violent backlash from within after its crushing election defeat by the Islamic militant group."
Does this mean that Arafat was a moderate as far as Palestinian politics go? Did he actually have control over the state?
Are the people of Palestine so fed up, so desperate for something to change that they went over the edge? Or are they all just terrorist at heart?
Undoubtedly they are hungry for change, but obviously they choose to blame others for their plight rather than elect leaders who will work for peace.
Blame others? Hamas' mission is to destroy Isreal. They have no place for the Jews and plan to push them into the sea. These are not the people you vote for when you want peace and jobs and security. These are the people you vote for when you refuse to accept responsibilty for your situation and want someone else to blame.
