Thomas > The Jordanian special forces created the Fatah Badr brigade. The Egyptians, as well, trained Fatah in Egypt. The United Arab Emirates actually sent money and arms. And then they were allowed to enter Gaza and then began to attack Hamas.

This is really the bottom line -- that Egypt, the Emirates and Jordan are, besides Israel and the US, behind Fatah. This widespread Arab support for Fatahstine "legitimizes" it. Hamas seems to find support, if any, only from radical groups, also possibly Syria and Iran, and is now totally isolated in its little enclave.

The Palestinian "cause" has been turned on its head and radicalized. No longer is it about Israel's transgressions but about Hamas' committment to the violent overthrow of the peaceful and law-abiding Jewish homeland which has done nothing but seek peace and harmony with its neighbors at every opportunity and in every conceivable way. According, I presume that anyone who continues to support the Palestinian "cause", ie Hamas, will also be seen as supporting the violent overthrow of the peaceful Jewish state.
