Democracy is a wonderful thing. It is the means by which a free people
control their collective destiny. Such has happened in the Palestinian
territories. Unfortunately, Democracy does not imbue the electorate with
wisdom, and consequently they reap what they sow (excuse the Biblical
phrase). It has been well said of the Pallies that they never miss an
opportunity to miss an opportunity. Here's the latest case in point.
Palestine has chosen to continue to make war against the women and
children of Israel. They have chosen to make terror their national goal.
This differs from the past, mainly in that although they made the same
choice throughout their history, they at least pretended to aspire to
Fatah's/Arafat's fig leaf of a stated desire for peaceful coexistence.

One foreseeable consequence of this election, is that it makes Benjamin
Netanyahu's position much stronger inside of Israel. Netanyahu will, if
in power, exercise a heavy hand in response to any more of the assaults,
which are are sure to come now that Hamas is in charge and free to carry
them out. In many ways, his job will be simpler, now that he need not
pretend that he has anyone to negotiate with. The fence will be
completed, some settlements destroyed, but the hopes for the Pallies for
their own homeland or for acquisition of disputed lands is a lost cause.
The Israelis will be justifiably more focused on defending themselves from
the now openly hostile barbarians outside their gates. Another
foreseeable consequence of their choice, is that the Pallies are likely to
see much less foreign aid, now that they voted terror to be their official
policy. The Pallies are welfare recipients from the global trough. The
only products that their society produces and exports is human suffering.
That is their contribution to this world. They have sown a bumper crop
with this election.

Since the Israelis unilaterally chose to disengage with them, Palestinian
society has grown increasingly grim. They have used their new-found
liberty to import arms from Egypt to be used to kill Jews. They have
descended into increased lawlessness, unable to govern themselves or their
fractured society of gun-toting savages. Hamas will have a hard a time
keeping Pallies from killing each other. Such is the nature of
barbarians, that when their common enemy is beyond their reach, they turn
on each other.
