They are in the thrall of a horrendous, self-defeating strategy- they are effectively a death-cult society bent on the destruction of Israel. That doesn't mean everyone is enthralled by the ideals of this movement, but it sounds awfully familiar to what happened in Germany in 1933. Similar conditions- a national sense of humiliation, poor economic conditions, and militaristic thugs ready to exploit the situation.
What is worrying is that in Germany in 1933, the majority was not in favor of the Nazis, while among the Palestinians the majority is clearly behind Hamas and their policy goals. In some ways I think this is a useful development, because it makes official what has been the de-facto situation for a long time. The Palestinian people have never been a true partner for peace, always negotiating on the one hand while launching terrorist attacks on the other. Now, Hamas will be forced to form a government, and that new Palestinian government will be cut off diplomatically and economically. > So palestinians elect a terrorist organization to a majority, and the > losers show their frustrations by rioting and setting things on fire. > > What the f**k is a matter with these people? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:194885 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
