And by the way, the only difference between the Hasmas that US does not support openly, and Fatah, that we do support, is that Hamas is more honest in proclaiming who and what they are and their true aims.
Both are terrorists gangs no different then Al Quida.
Actually the difference is that Israel and the US agreed to the palestinian tactic of considering al Aska Martyrs Brigade a terrorist group, Fatah a "peace partner", despite being the same entity. Look for State to play the same game with Hamas. They'll "find" a political/charitable arm.
