Out of Gaza's Chaos
(Globe and Mail-Canada) Editorial - The most powerful force in Gaza today is not the PA but Hamas, the militant group that seeks to wipe Israel off the map and has led the terrorist assault on the Jewish state over the past few years. It is a token of the PA's atrocious record that a poisonous organization like Hamas can look honest and decent by comparison. Hamas intends to contest this January's Palestinian election and stands to do well, perhaps even to win. That would be taken as a clear sign by Israel that talks over further Israeli withdrawals or future peace are futile.
