Thank you for the break down sometimes you must use the high beams to put some light on the siduation. I love clarity. What this shows clearly is that if you are not Moslem it is impossible to flourish because you would in fact be The Enemy.
The Hamas won all their seats?" I guess they went to the highest bidder . O_o

If "Palastine" was initially owned and populated primarily by Christians, then the Muslim (Hammas) claims to Palastine are patently false. If Israel owes a moral debt to Palastinians, it is to the original inhabitants rather than immigrants who arrived after the formation of Israel.
