Also, why wouldn't they vote in Hamas? Hamas beyond their hatred of Israel runs on a platform of islamic government. That appeals to a lot of people regardless of the occupation. Egypt voted in islamic governments, as are many of the other naitons in the arab spring.
Because Hamas is a reactionary vote.

Please address what is being written. I've repeatedly argued that I do NOT favour a one state solution because the demographics would drown out the Jewish culture. I don't want that.

Please read and respond to people's actual positions rather than the positions you impute to them. It's the only way we can have a discussion.
