For the liberals, it is always a blame game. The problem is between Hamas and Fatah...let's put the "blame" where it belongs.

This line should forever be a classic of lopsided editorial writing.  The condensed version is "Heads I win, tails you lose"

They long suffered from Israel's suffocating occupation, and then from Ariel Sharon's foolishly unilateral withdrawal in 2005, a move that allowed Hamas to bid for power with the misleading claim that its rockets and suicide bombings had driven Israeli soldiers and settlers out of Gaza

Iran has won again.

I am sure they will attempt to completely take over again in Lebanon...as the terrorists have been...via Iran/Syria.

Despicable.

I also heard a report early this morning from Tom Aspell(sp) on msnbc...it was absolutely disgusting...it would take to long to post it, but he is so far left with the reporting it not only angered me, but I lost my appetite.

Terrorists are a word they refuse to use when speaking of Hamas...same as Al Qaeda...Hezbollah...ect....

...and of course this all of our fault..the big bad USA....

I despise the left with all my being...they are the enemy within...we need to destroy them...one way or the other.

You leftist trolls...I wasn't speaking of murder...although forced permanent deportation wouldn't be a bad idea for me.

By the way...this outcome of Hamas completely taking over ought to make Jimmah Carter pleased as punch.

Here's the thing ...

It's not that MSM Editorial writers can't make the most assinine bass-ackward's "analysis" of the most sophomoric standard. It's their 1st Amendment right.

No.. it's that they also think we (readers) are so dumb, we can't (or won't) go back TWO years to compare what they said then... Because it's just soooo hard to find this secretive stuff.

The Knesset wisely backs Sharon on Gaza... (the decision to leave Gaza) is a wrenching but necessary step for which Mr. Sharon and Israel deserve applause and international support.

Then here's the blame game. Mmmm, clearly the rewriting of Arafascist's thuggocracy is well in swing on the Boston Globe

Boston Globe Editorial July 20, 2004
Arafat's ebbing authority

THE UNFOLDING power struggle among Palestinians in Gaza was set off by the prospect of an Israeli withdrawal and by concurrent pressures on Yasser Arafat to cede his control over security, personnel, and money.

Nonetheless, this crisis over Arafat's misrule was a long time in coming. From the moment in 1994 when he and his PLO entourage, acting under the aegis of the Oslo Accords, came from Tunis to impose their ways on Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, something like the current revolt against Arafat was inevitable.

There is a crisis in Gaza today because Arafat, once the embodiment of Palestinian national aspirations, never altered his gang boss style of leadership forged in the PLO's clandestine era. All the money passed through Arafat's hands, and he wrote all the checks. Like police state rulers in Damascus and Baghdad, he appointed and controlled the heads of several security services.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll talk jive! Just check out my latest YouTube video Hillary Clinton Talks Jive

There are no heros here, what you see is worst case, what might have happened in Iraq when we took out the dictator there.  But that does raise an interesting point, sooooo....  All of you media types out there LISTEN UP ... THIS is what a CIVIL WAR looks like, two organized, armed factions within the citizenry with opposing political goals fighting long, winner-takes-all boody pitched battles. Iraq IS NOT in a civil war, so STOP saying it.  Random car bombs, booby traps, isolated Arab blood feuds, foreign terrorists, etc.... do NOT make a civil war. 

Give WAR a chance.....the Palestinian Peace has been killing people for years...and now, we have RESOLUTION to a "Fatah" problem, thanks to a "minor war".

Who says Wars don't work ?  After...what 30 years or so......the peace still ain't working.   And all those guys are fighting over "holy" land.  We have better land in West Texas that nobody is living on.  We should relocate all the Palistinians to West Texas, and they can kill Illegals crossing the border and violating their land rights.   That would work, but for one thing...It's isn't the "HOLY" Land. 

In fairness, Same with the Israels, we could relocate them to the Desert Southwest, they could thrive in peace.......but again, the sticking point....it wouldn't be the "Holy" land.

Give War a chance, the peace continues to Kill people.

So Israel's relinquishment of direct control in 1993 is overlooked
and the incredibly corrupt regime of Yasser Arafat that ensued is, in
the view of the Globe, because:

Gazans were victimized as well by the corruption and misrule of Yasser Arafat's Fatah cronies.

Note that it was Abu 'Ammar's "Fatah cronies" who were corrupt. But
Arafat was technically in charge from 1993 until his death in 2004, so
was it just his cronies who were guilty of "corruption and misrule?"
Unless, of course, Arafat resides in the Globe's pantheon of Leftist
Working Class Heroes such as Che and other freedom fighters like Pol
Pot and Kim Jung-Il.

And let's just overlook those "rockets and suicide bombings" that
Hamas inflicted on the neighborhood. Or the fact that Hamas is run out
of Damascus under the command of Khaled Meshaal who gets Iranian and
Syrian money to oversee his terror campaigns. Unsuitable perspective
for the Globe.
