I agree with Tovya: better an honest enemy than a false friend. Also, their supporters have something to lose; those clinics, schools, etc. This gives Israel some leverage.

All will turn out well, given only intelligence, integrity, vision and competence on the part of Palestinian, Israeli and American officials. Unfortunately, those qualities rare in general, and especially so amongst the above-mentioned officials.

Yes. May we all hail the glory of American democracy, which has never failed throughout its storied history to give to the American people a pretend choice between two total douchebags. Yay limited representative pseudo-democracy! Where are my Commie-stompin’ boots?

EEEEEEEW. Gross! Yuck! Why are so many prophecies about vengence rather than every getting along and getting drunk together on real wine?

I’m a natural pessimist, Muffti. I just can’t help it.

I don’t want to wax all religious and Messianic, since I know the Muffti, he isn’t down with that, but IIRC there is a prophecy in Isaiah, in one of the haftorot, that says that at the time of the geulah, Hashem will make Israel’s enemies “drunk on their own blood as though with sweet wine” or something along those lines.

Here’s hoping.

Drink away, boys.

Oh Ephraim, why is the terrorist’s gun always half empty rather than half full in your eyes?!?

If the Arabs remain true to form, the bodies should be piling up in Gaza and Ramallah pretty soon. I hope that Fatah will resist the Hamas takeover to the last terrorist, so that both sides will just pound each other into little piles of Islamic dust, but I doubt that we’ll be so lucky. My guess is that after a few desultory scuffles most of the Fatah “activists” will just change uniforms, unfortunately.

The last few Xians in the territories are probably checking out real estate prices in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv right about now.

The real problem here is that when Hamas faces the inevitable problems of trying to run a gummint (if they even bother), they will up the violence against Israel to “mobilize the masses” and direct their attention elsewhere. No matter what happens, attacks on Israel will increase, and increase soon.

And don’t hold your breath expecting the US and the EU to honor their promises of not dealing with and not funding terrorists. I assume that, as always, they’ll find a way to weasel out of their promises.

No matter what happens, this is not going to be pretty.

But, man, did Hamas hand Fatah its ass on a plate or what? “Bend over and grab your ankles,Ab-ass, and don’t bother asking for any lube!”

But I just can’t believe all of these people who say they were “shocked” at Hamas’ victory. What are they, stupid? Anybody with any sense saw this coming from miles away. It was as obvious as the setup and punch line in a Threee Stooges movie, like when Curly is working at a gas station and uses a match to check what he thinks is the water level in the radiator.

Of course, it is the gas tank. Ka-BOOM!

Surprise, surprise.
