I don't know if you can see America's Fox News from Israel. It's our "conservative" news outlet.
I'm embarrassed as I listen to these conservative talking heads trying to put a positive spin on this Hamas win. Everyone's hoping Hamas will renounce violence and come to the peace table. I get so frustrated with the "wise" men of the world and the total and absolute foolishness that comes out of their mouths.
They actually think that this pit-bull can be made into a poodle. It's absolutely unbelievable. I squirmed and twisted inside as I listened to President Bush's statements. They're broadcasting only what he said about being unable to negotiate peace with a peace partner who has an agenda of the destruction of Israel.
That's the part they're broadcasting. But I heard the whole thing -his praise for the great step the Palestinians took in holding a truly democratic vote. His pleasure that they've sent a message that they weren't satisfied with the status quo and therefore their vote against what was the status quo. His insistence that we can democratize the Muslim regimes of the Middle East, as we're democratizing Iraq and Afghanistan. (Oh yeah?) I felt sick to my stomach. I'm just glad they're not broadcasting the utterly foolish statements he made, at least on Fox News.
And in Israel:
"President Moshe Katsav says negotiations with PA on poeace settlement can materialize if Hamas reounces terror, recognized Israel."

This makes me absolutely shudder. The thought that all Hamas has to do is say some politically-correct words and then they'll be accepted as peace partners in good faith and we'll get on with it!
HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO FOOLISH?????
Devastating News For Israel!
This is devastating news that threatens to change the whole situation in the Middle East and possibly for the whole world. The Palestinians held their elections this week, and Hamas has won.
What does that mean?
Fatah, the present administration under Mahmoud Abbas, was involved in negotiations with Israel under the US "Road Map" model of land for peace. That was bad enough. It was a ploy. But it bought time and necessitated that terrorist attacks be kept at a minimum during that time to give the appearance of the Palestinians cooperating with Israel and working toward a "two-state" goal.
This is the end of that story. Now the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group Hamas takes over.
*** Hamas is the terrorist organization that says they will never negotiate with Israel, because their goal is the eradication of Israel off the face of the earth, period.
*** The US has always said it will never negotiate with Hamas because it is an avowed terrorist organization.
*** Hamas candidate, Mahmoud Zahar, said his group is "not going to change a single word" in its covenant calling for Israel's destruction."
This is an awful turning point in the story, and it portends disaster.
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper."
-Psalm 122:6
