Victory for Terror
According to preliminary results, Hamas won 76 seats to 43 for the ruling Fatah party, giving them a majority in the 132-seat chamber. The turnout was 77%.
So reports the BBC. Hamas, the group which refuses to recognise Israel, and has not given up terrorism, will now take seats in a democratic parliament. Its hard to imagine how things could be worse.
Israel and the US have made it perfectly clear they will not negotiate with Hamas, and they have good reason not to. So what then happens to the peace process? In fact, was "peace process" even in the mind of Palestinians who voted common thugs to represent them?

Re topic of thread I disaggree. Hamas was founded with Israels financial support as an educational and social welfare group. It was then developed into a terrorist / resistance movement with foreign capital and world events. Now that Israel is out of Lebanon and Hizbollah are part of the coalition that helped see the removal of Syrian forces, and settlement disengagement on occupied Gaza has been removed, people within the Hamas movement may seek the removal of the desire to drive Israel into the sea (their rhetoric not mine) and accept a two state solution.
look on the Conservative Friends of Israel site to see how close to a settlement Barak offerred Arafat in 1999 / 2000.
There is thus still hope for a negotiaited peaceful settlement in this. All now depends on whether the Israeli public trust Kadima to deliver or fall back on the unworkable rhetoric of Netanayhu.
