Hamas blames Fatah for wave of rocket attacks on Israel

Hmm, I've seen something like this before.

I'm beginning to think that the decision of the Palestinians to elect Hamas was a really bad one. I was reading that one of the councilwomen had seven sons, all of whom became suicide bombers. Not only is such a human being unfit for such a politically important position, but more importantly, she is clearly a child abuser and should be locked up. How can you have any kind of peace with people like that on the other side of the negotiation table, if negotiations can be had at all?


The devil could not have come up with a more difficult conflict.


It took God to devise it Or Man

Every group is going to keep blaming every other group, and none of them have the equivalency of nation state authority. Push them into responsibility and say, "Tough, they live in your country, they are your responsibility and your citizens. We're keeping up our end of cease fire, so should you. If you can't handle them, deal with the consequences." Then we'll see what th new party does. Their excuse can't be "well, we can't control them." And they're probably right about the chaos and anarchy leading to their dethroning. If you build a system of tribal conflict and authority, you live by it.

On the other hand, its been only a few months. Give it a couple more and see what happens. Rome wasn't built in a day, neither will Palestine be.

But Rome was built up through violence.

So was everywhere? It still eventually led to stability.

I'm just saying, let them sweat it out a little with the son they helped ween.

Then even if they do lose power, they'll be humbled and willing to communicate through other methods, like maybe diplomacy. That really being conditional on if we're not a bunch of dumbasses that take the opportunity to feed them illegal arms for a coup ten years down the line.
