Interesting, indeed. Hamas was already elected by 'the people' and denied recognition by the U.S. They clearly do not want our puppet, Mr. Abbas.

Interesting. Of course, this was predictable for all those who felt it's morally wrong to force Jews out of their homes. Israel moves out and the terrorists move in.
There are going to be some who approve of the terrorists. For those who are to cowardly to do so, but who approved throwing Jews out of their homes, what do you have to say to this development?
Will you admit to being so stupid as not to have seen this coming? Will you admit that you were wrong? If not, then at what point is it reasonable to conclude that all those who were in favor of Israel retreating from Gaza wanted Hamas to rule and are in favor of Hamas' goals?
Israeli efforts at "peace" have brought this about. The Israelis have only themselves to blame. One wonders just how far the Israelis will permit this to go. One wonders just how far the Jews will allow the Israelis to go before they take control of their destiny and resolve the situation.

Arab countries are eyeing the chaos in Gaza with alarm, fearing that the Palestinian fighting could spread to the West Bank and further destabilize the region. The Arab League chief has called for a cease-fire, warning of disaster otherwise.
Arab governments have been stunned by a battle that is rapidly creating a dramatically new reality on their doorsteps: a Gaza Strip controlled by the militant group Hamas and a West Bank held by the Fatah faction of President Mahmoud Abbas.
Egypt sent police to beef up security on the border with Gaza.
There are fears that if the fighting spreads to the West Bank, it will further weaken Abbas and ultimately stir up trouble for Jordan

Is it my imagination, or, are the enemies of Israel trying really hard to make it look like Bible prophecy is about to unfold?
