It's all over the news: The Palestinians' election exit polling is no better than ours. Exit polls showed PA President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party leading Hamas, but the results told a completely different story. And the aftermath of the results are looking sobering. This from today's WorldNetDaily:
Moments after official election results this afternoon certified a large Hamas victory in Palestinian ballots, members of the terror group planted their green flags on the main parliament building in Ramallah, with some Hamas gunmen declaring hard-line Islamic law will soon be imposed in the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinian security sources in the area told WorldNetDaily.
The Hamas demonstration prompted clashes with rival activists from the currently ruling Fatah Party and highlighted longstanding worries Hamas will use its gains to impose a Taliban-like Islamist regime on the Palestinian population.
Final results released by the Palestinian Central Election Commission showed Hamas won 76 seats in 132-seat parliament, with the Fatah garnering only 43 seats.
Another WorldNetDaily article quotes a "senior Hamas leader" who reveals the plans Hamas has for the future (emphasis added).
Hamas, which catapulted to power in this week's Palestinian elections, will soon make public a "peace initiative" in which it will offer to trade strategic land with Israel, cease attempts to capture parts of Jerusalem, and sign a 10-year renewable cease-fire with the Jewish state, a top Hamas leader told WorldNetDaily during an exclusive interview.
But the Hamas leader said the plan, which he justified using Islamic tradition, is a temporary machination to ease international and U.S. hostility toward his group in hopes of receiving financial assistance, explaining Hamas will not give up its goal of destroying Israel.
Meanwhile, the People's Daily Online reports today that Iran is thrilled with the PA election results, quoting Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi.
"The Palestinian people faithfully chose the option of resistance and are to fully support it," the spokesman said.
As would be expected, Israel's reaction is slightly different. Ynet News reported yesterday on Likud Party Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks in the wake of the PA election. Here are some key quotes:
Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday "the state of Hamastan – an offshoot of Iran - has been established before our eyes.”
Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday "the state of Hamastan – an offshoot of Iran - has been established before our eyes.”
As to the speculations that Hamas will become more moderate now that it has won the elections, Netanyahu said, “This is what they said about the ayatollahs when they took control over Iran.
“We cannot reach an understanding with Hamas, as their main goal is to annihilate Israel. We must return to the Likud’s policy of deterrence,” he concluded.
It is clear to anyone who wants to see the truth: The Palestinians do not want peace. They were given a choice between peace with Israel in a two-state region (Palestine & Israel), with Abbas and his Fatah party on that side, or a one-state region (Palestine, after wiping Israel off the map), with Hamas. The Palestinian people, with free elections, sided with the group that is dedicated to destroying Israel.
Anyone who denies the genocidal desire of the Palestinian people is beyond being a fool. Those who will help Hamas, or go along with Hamas's programs, will be working on the side of genocide--the side of evil.

In your posts today we have Israel threatened and Persia (Iran) implicated... we have wickedness personified in theater, throwing a temper tantrum and thumbing its nose at the holiness of God... sounds very "Old Testament" to me.
I take comfort in the fact that the Gospel is a done deal.
Sky Puppy, as a fellow believer, I must say that its wonderful to be able to relax and know that "The Plan" is on schedule... and the war is already won.
Have a wonderful weekend.
