Why, oh why, do THEY take the credit?
As I posted yesterday, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) is saying that the 'small Jihad' succeeded in the 'expulsion' of the Jews from Gaza and that a 'large Jihad' would succeed in more 'expulsions' and the creation of a Palestinian State with Jerusalem as the capital.
Abbas also apparently feels that declaring a partial victory as a result of PA policies opens up the ability to hold parlimentary elections in which Fatah can win a sizable number of seats, as he has officially announced an election date.
Hamas, on the other hand, has apparently decided that they and not the PA policies are the reason for the 'victory' and are beginning to challenge the PA authority in the Gaza. The PA police in Gaza City stood by and watched as masked Hamas terrorists demonstrated in front of PA parlimentary offices. (The only 'hope' I have for this right now is that the Palestinians begin a civil war that will take their eyes off of Israel for at least a little while.)
Posters in the central square showed a masked terrorist carrying a rifle while IDF soldiers were crying and leaving Jewish evacuated Jewish communities. Other posters proclaimed, "Israel will no longer exist" and "We drove you out as corpses."
This paragraph, from the below linked article, is the type of problem I have feared all along with the withdrawl in the situation that we are doing it.
The only good news, to me, in this article is "Two terrorists were injured Friday when an explosive device they were carrying accidentally blew up before they could plant it near IDF soldiers guarding the Kfar Darom community, whose residents have been expelled." I don't know about anybody else, but I always feel like cheering every time one of these dimwitted morons blows himself up, and injures no one else.
