Newspapers won't be able to respond to the HAMAS victory until tomorrow. That's why we have the blogosphere :)

The neo palestinian people have spoken. It is a resounding "yes" to Israel's destruction.

SoccerDad: The real extremists

In 1993 Israel invited the PLO to make a government in its backyard. The premise that allowed the PLO to change from a terror organization to a "partner for peace" was its supposed reununciation of its terrorist [ways] and its supposed acceptance of Israel's right to exist.

Thank you for this very useful roundup. This is becoming the blog of record.

Hey, better Hamas than Fatah. Fatah plays games in front of Western media, Hamas does not. They hate us, and they don't try to cover it up. The most dangerous enemy to have is the kind who holds an olive branch in one hand, and a gun in the other behind their back. At least with Hamas we know they have guns in both hands wide open where we can see them.

A hearty nod in agreement, RR. BTB is the true leader of blogs for Israel advocacy.

Notably, the PLO was ostensibly brought back from exile to defeat Hamas with tactics Israel could not get away with. Looks like the final nail in the Oslo coffin has been spent. Hamas has won.
