Hamas' Win Defines The Target, Or Not.

Hamas wins the parliamentary elections in Ramallah, West Bank. Although a different outcome would have been better, it's hard to believe that Hamas would have been better if the Fatah party had won. The good news is that unless Hamas has an epiphany and renounces their goal, which is the elimination of Israel, then Israel's enemy and the enemy of the world, this new terrorist state, will be clearly defined.

No longer will we have politicos talking peace on one hand, while Hamas continues killing Israelis, like has happened for the last 30 plus years. (And Jimmy Carter got a Nobel Peace prize for it.) Now it is the Palestinian State itself, no little sub-group of bad guys. And under these circumstances, Israel's response won't have to be with one hand tied behind their back.  They would be justified in declaring war in response.  And they would win it.  Only then will that part of the earth see peace.
