Subject: Re: Israel/Palestine
As another side note, it seems that the USA isn't the only one facing polarization problems. Apparently most of Israel, and most of Palestine, are OK with a two-state solution. But Hamas isn't, and the extremist Israeli factions (right-wing**) aren't. And apparently they are pulling the strings.

Also note that Hamas was voted-in 17 years ago. There hasn't been an election since, and at least half of the Gaza residents weren't even alive when that vote happened. Hamas campaigned on peace and moderation at the time.



**I'm detecting a pattern here...apparently "right-wing" is a problem everywhere.
