Hamas doesn't want golf courses and resorts in Gaza. They want Religious Schools and Jihadist Training Camps.

They want their women to NOT be seen and NOT be heard.

Let's let Hamas SHOW how brilliant they are in trying to actually RUN a society rather than just trying to destroy one.


Well, lets let the people of Gaza express for themselves what they want, you're not their spokesperson. Hamas charter is, unlike the Koran, changeable.

And your final sentence pretty much summarizes my view - let Hamas run Gaza, unfetter the people of Gaza from the unsolvable predicament that affects the remaining stateless Palestinians, encourage Hamas to continue to hold regular elections, and the people of Gaza (IMO) will over time vote to spend their limited budget on schools and hospitals and not on rockets, especially if less rocketfire results in more aid. And if the Gaza leadership is subject to elections, women aren't going to vote to confine themselves to the home. If the Gaza leadership declared themselves "rulers for life" with no elections, voila remove all the aid and cut the water and power until the huddled masses kill the self appointed ruler for life.
