#1 did not scheduled meetings with officials from Hamas, whose government is not internationally recognized.

So what's all the fuss about?

#3 If Hamass "restores" order, it'll be a first.

#4 as part of their restoration, Hamas is murdering more Gazans (Fatah activists and suspected collaborators).

Some politician should say that all aid to Gaza should be held up because of this.

#5 If they reconstruct, it'll be a first. They're into destruction, not construction. Any money they get from the Soddies and Euroweenies that doesn't disappear will be used to buy more weapons.

#6 I'm not so sure. Hizb'allah used restoration / reconstruction to embed a whole new military infrastructure, complete with buried fiber optic comms lines, in Lebanon. Look for Hamas to do the same.

#7 "Military" infrastructure, maybe. But what about housing, roads, water, sewage? Do Paleos even know how to build houses? Who's gonna do the work for them? Is it gonna be like a Hamas CCC? That would be interesting.

#8 They do know how to build. Palestinians were doing a lot of labor for Israel before things got so bad it wasn't worth it.

#9 If the Gazans had any brains they'd pop the bastards as soon as they showed their faces.

#10 The only way Hamas could restore order is by taking a one-way walk into the Med.

#11 If the Gazans had any brains they'd pop the bastards as soon as they showed their faces.

Proof that programing hate into a people will deprive them of all rational thought processes.
