Apparently, the Gazans liked Hamas enough to vote them into power. But I'm not so sure that the average Palestinian and Hamas have the same goals for their future. I think the Palestinian people might just want to live their lives and see their kids have a future. Hamas, on the other hand, seems intent on creating their OWN Fundamentalist Muslim Society. Women in "their society" would probably be treated as second class citizens with no need of education.

hamas has emotional support of gazans for reasons have national and religious pride in the face of the israeli attack. But what happens on the day after this is over is the real question. Nazralla had to apologize to the lebanese people for starting the 06 war. He said if i knew they would react the way they did, i wouldnt have attacked the israeli unit or rocketed in the north. Now hamas with that lesson apparently unlearned, has made the same mistake. I wonder whether evenly divided pals (PA snd Hamas) will be as forgiving.. I guess like hizbo, they thought israel was a paper tiger and would not act particularly after the costly lebanon war. WRONG. Will hamas pay the political price now? Dunno, arabs behaviour is always strange to me.
