Bush supporters vs. Kerry supporters; which one would you rather have on your side? Israelis, Palestinians at Odds Over U.S. Election.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - If Israeli settler Rachel Saperstein could decide the outcome of the U.S. election, President Bush would beat Democratic challenger John Kerry by a landslide.

But Gaza shopkeeper Abu Gomaa hopes instead to see Bush’s re-election bid go down in flames on Nov. 2. “I want to laugh … at his humiliation,” he says.

Hamas, of course, just wants to kill and couldn’t care less about an infidel president.

“They are competing to win the affection of the Zionist entity,” said Sami Abu Zuhri, a spokesman for Hamas, an Islamic militant group sworn to Israel’s destruction. For the Palestinians, he says, “either of them is a losing choice.”
