I seem to recall a fellow named Hitler getting elected too -- once, anyway. And Hamas has a similarly genocidal bent, just to enhance the resemblance! Surely you are not so naive as to expect something good to come out of the genocidal shitheads coming out on top?

Does anyone even expect civility and good order of a state run by Hamas? I'd say the evidence is all the other way: these are people who by their own words are committed to making a people vanish, and from a land they once had, yet, and had it before the current batch of "look at us, we're the victims here" bomb makers. (I don't buy it when somebody claims he's the victim, but behaves like the perp.) Anyone who thinks the Israelis will quietly go along with Hamas' genocidal program has slipped the bonds of reality in a large way.

It's absurd to get grabby over a former Ottoman province that amounted to nothing until a bunch of highly motivated Jews moved in and made a success of the place. Now, we get "give it back!"
