So Much For The Hamas Government
124 words.
I’ve been focused a lot on Virginia lately, so I haven’t paid much attention to anything going on in the rest of the world. However, I did note that the Fatah-Hamas Palestinian government imploded, to the surprise of, um, nobody. For reasons that are not terribly clear to this writer, Hamas started taking over Fatah government buildings in Gaza, then Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas declared a state of emergency and dissolved the Hamas government. Now there are basically two different Palestinian territories, one rogue (Hamas in the Gaza Strip) and one legitimate (Fatah in the West Bank), both of which are cheerfully continuing to starve their own people while simultaneously fighting with each other and Israel. (Ironically, it’s just like the Virginia political scene.)
