Because Hamas are Jihadists who refuse to allow Israel to exist and are determined to destroy all Jews in the Holy Land, while Fatah is a little more willing to compromize. And Israel DID NOT create Hamas to counter Fatah! An ex-Muslim Brotherhood stooge named Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Yassin did!

Fatah has been in power forever, agreeing to every important Israeli demand when it was in their power. Still no Palestinian state. The voters elected Hamas because of Fatah corruption. As a result, Israel and the Bush Administration cut off all funding to Palestinians.
Apparently, we only support democracy when we support the election's winner.
Hamas is frustrated by the lack of progress. Hamas and Fatah have teamed to create a govt. that they hoped the Zionists would endorse, but still the tax dollars taken from the Palestinian people haven't been returned. Taxation without representation is tyranny.
From Hamas' point of view, the Fatah strategy of negotiating for a solution peacefully hasn't worked, so Hamas will try to exert greater pressure on Israel.

Fatah has tried courting the west, it's made compromises, participated in the peace process, and generally staked it's political future on the eventual resolution of it's greivances through not entirely violent means - though it's continued to use suicide bombings and other terrorist tactics throughout the current intifada.

Hamas wants to push the Jews into the sea, and if Fatah doesn't like it, they can go into the sea with them.

So it's terrorist vs really fanatical terrorist.

Hamas may also be a triffle upset that it's not in power, now, in spite of winning general elections in a parlimentary system.

I heard that a good thing may come out of the latest freakshow over there in Gaza. Hamas may stay in control of Gaza, Fattah would retain control of West Bank... Fattah's leader is apparently a lot more open to negotiations with Israel and a permanent ceasefire. Israel has no choice but to go after those who break the ever fragile peace.. Those who look at the situation with sober eyes, will agree.

Sorry dark angel, you got that backwards, Israel NEVER backed Hamas. Hamas demands a complete and unconditional destruction of Israel and they also demand the death of every Jew.

Yes Ken C has a handle on it. Anyone who thinks that there is some way to appease or even understand the parties in the Middle East is simply not paying attention. There has been runaway violence there for decades. It makes one wonder if colonialism was better for some nations as since the English and French left the Middle East it has been the scene of the worst forms of government and wholesale murder of women and children. Most of this is in the name of Allah which would seem to be blasphemous to Islam but the clerics who lead that religion embrace this as a means to gain power. There is no hope for the Middle East. The world needs to find alternative energy sources so that these people have no influence on the rest of the world. Let them to themselves, they certainly deserve each other. They will disappear.

Hamas are Islamist terrorists. Fatah are secular terrorists. They both want to be the ones to kill all the Jews. They don't want to share "credit".

They just see hate, not people. Been that way since "Zargon the Great" formed the worlds first Army 7000 years ago in Mesopotamia. The region has been about mindless killing ever since. Always have, always will.

what they do against the jewish people and israel is justified by the geneva convention, being an occupied country means they are protected people and they are given the right to do whatever they can to survive and escape occupation and oppression. i met a waiter at a restaurant near sacramento california of palestinian origin and said he was arrested by an undercover israeli soldier because he asked for a lighter to light his cigarette, now tell me again who is committing the injustice?

They dislike the Jews and the feeling is mutual. It''s all about who owns what land and the Israeli occupation.
