re: #554 darthstar

They had democratic elections (in which Hamas won) and Bush’s response was to reject the result, call them terrorists, and cut off aid.

Justly so. You know of the Hamas Charter and the group’s rejection of Israel’s existence, I trust? Hamas often glories in its terrorism and if an electorate votes into power a group with that sort of background and attitude, then we damn straight should cut off aid. Because they have sent us a clear sign that they favor terrorism over peace.
