  • Israel wants a civil war. What better way to show the world that there is no “partner for peace?” Never mind the fact that Israel played a role in the formation and begining of Hamas as a religious counterbalance to the PLO.

    What I find a shame is that the Palestinian people have spoken. They voted for a Hamas government. Who do these people in the various PLO factions think they are to go against what the Palestinian people voted for?

    If it wasnt for the massive corruption and ineptitude of the PLO, Hamas wouldnt be there in the first place. They should go home, give Hamas a chance to rule, and figure out why the Palestinian people kicked them out of office. Fix their problems, leaders with million dollar bank accounts, massive corruption, inability to deal with Israel, and then come back to fight the next election.
