I just don't see much difference between Fatah and Hamas. They BOTH call for the elimination of Israel. The Pal people seem to see Fatah as more corrupt than Hamas. Fatah was the political arm of the PLO - which we regarded as a terrorist organization in the past. The only difference I see is we gave Fatah a little respect, and they moderated their behavior. Maybe we'll eventually come around to doing the same with Hamas, and they'll moderate their behavior as well. Can choice for Pals be bad? Isn't that what democracy is all about?

We have the same things going on in the US. Brainwashing (the TV journalists) and fear (we're in danger from terrorists) so we are giving up our constitutional rights left and right and few are saying a word. We're being marched into the camps and no one is resisting.
