Am I the only person not surprised that Hamas won the Palestinian elections by a freaking LANDSLIDE? All of the news agencies are making it out to be a big shock or something. It's like...um, DUH. The Palestinian populace has been indoctrinated to support terrorism for the last 40+ years, of course they're going to vote for the party that openly supports terrorism over the party that supports it undercover.
All of these news articles have headlines like, "Hamas Wins Election--Peace Process in Peril" and other such tripe. There has never BEEN a peace process, only a piece process. Fatah supports terrorism just as much as anyone else, they just have to pretend not to so they look more legit. Well, their pretensions have come back to bite them, and maybe--just maybe--it could be that the world will finally concede that Israel can't negotiate with open terrorists whose openly proclaimed goal is to destroy the country.
But I'm not holding my breath.

I agree that Hamas winning was not such a surprise. Not sure that the world will ever be on Israel's side, even after this, but hey, at least there's hope, right?
Give them a few days, they'll get over the fact that Hamas are sworn terrorists. There's hope, but I'd say chances are still pretty slim.
Funny...I talk to my non-Jewish friends and I feel like such a pessimist, because they're so optimistic that Hamas will suddenly become pragmatic and decide that having political power is more important than destroying Israel and will become more moderate. And I say, "yeah, right." < /sarcasm>
And then I talk to my Jewish friends and feel like an optimist, because they all think there's not much of chance that things will get better, and I keep hoping for one. Heh.
No problem with being both. But it must get a little schizophrenic-feeling.
