Hamastan

Jerusalem Post carries part of a speech Likud leader Benjamin Netyanyahu gave to the Likud Knesset members today after the PA elections:
"Before our very eyes, Hamastan has been established, the step-child of Iran and the Taliban. It's in firing range of our airport, our highways and cities. This has to be a day of soul searching because the writing was on the wall. The policy of giving land for free gave a prize to terror and a winning card for Hamas.

"How are Olmert and Peres getting ready for this challenge? They are moving the fence 500 meters closer to the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway (Beit Iksa). They gave more land to the Hamas state. Any land given to Hamas will give more of a front to fire upon us. "This is a new and dangerous situation. Sharon said he wouldn't let Palestinians in Jerusalem vote. Olmert let them."

Well, well. As I said before, the real focus should be on what path the Israeli electorate will choose to take now that Hamastan is born.

The election results should be an affirmation of what reasonable people have always known as the truth. The moral values of the Palestinian people have been irrevocably compromised by decades of government brainwashing. The fallout of this election will involve the world. And it will not be pretty.
