Reflections on Hamas' ascendancy

Hamas Completes Gaza Revolution -Ali Waked

Fatah closed down its last branch among the Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday with a raid on the Hilles clan compound.

Now that the clan has been removed, there are no longer any military forces in Gaza that can undermine or significantly hurt the Hamas regime. The June 2007 revolution has been completed.

The likelihood of PA forces returning to Gaza is non-existent.

Palestinian Refugees from Whom? -Melanie Phillips

Extraordinary developments in Gaza have given a new meaning to the term "Palestinian refugees." 180 Fatah refugees, fleeing from what they called a "war of genocide" by Hamas, fled to Israel, which proceeded to treat 23 of them in Israeli hospitals.

So let’s get our head round this: Palestinians committed to the destruction of Israel fled from other Palestinians committed to the destruction of Israel into Israel, which is providing them with sanctuary and medical treatment, while the president of their putative state who bases his claim against Israel on its alleged refusal to admit Palestinian ‘refugees’ refused to allow actual Palestinian refugees fleeing Palestinian violence access to that same putative state, while Israel agonises over whether to grant them permanent asylum. Surreal, or what?
