"Hamas is Fatah with beards"


A Year Reshapes Hamas and Gaza -Ethan Bronner

The notion of Gaza as an enduringly separate entity is solidifying, making it less likely that Palestinians might agree on peace with Israel.

Jawad Tibi, a health minister under the Fatah government, said, "Hamas is Fatah with beards."

It does seem to be ominously moving this way. The global community has not had much to say, and this is a disaster in the making through inaction. It is hard to imagine how peace could be worked out in this scenario, even with the latest cease fire hammered out between Israel and Hamas.
