re: #203 SanFranciscoZionist

First, Hamas won an election handily, although they have not bothered to have another election since then.

Secondly, that’s true, but unimportant. The issue of exactly how many Palestinians-in-the-street really support Hamas or Fatah, really support terror, really hate all Jews, is infinitely fascinating to some people, but it’s something of a red herring in terms of political and military matters. Israel cannot deal with Mrs. Salwa al-Misri on an individual basis, they have to deal with political parties, and groups in power.

I don’t think the election thing is a good measure of much. It was orchestrated by Bush and Abbas for the most part to separate Hamas from Fatah so Fatah could massacre the lot of them. And we and Israel would only have to deal with the P.A…. a less violent alternative.

Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way, but not half bad a plan.

Besides, Cuba had an election too. Did you know that 99% of Cubans voted for Castro! It’s true!

Iran had elections too!

Elections, shmelections.
