Let em, the way i see it; they're not gonna turn the employment around, the Palestinian people will then see that nobody truly cares...
AP News Alert
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Palestinian election officials delay release of results from legislative election until end of day.
Precisely!
I'm impressed! Would've thought they need more than a day to make sure all the weapons are stockpiled and the Swiss bank accounts are in order..
He's the right man, IMHO.
Oil breaks $66 up +0.18, money indicating Hamas won.
Closer to Armeggedon than you might think--do not fear these happenings for God rules over the affairs of men
This can be good, if you are a taspayer and grind your teeth every time our politicians (both Europeon and USA) give so called "Palestinians" economic aid. Now that Hamas is the official "ruler" of this non- existant Palestinian people, let's make sure our government does not give a single dime more to this nation of terrorists. Instead, throw some mini nukes at them and fix this problem once and for all.
Personally, I'm not so sanguine. This administration and this crop of congressional 'leaders' rolled out the red carpet for Abu Mazen, the financier of the 1972 Munich Massacre.
Why is Hamas any different?
Unprincipled 'diplomats' will be trying to make them into statesmen by the morrow...
If this is true it will be even more urgent for Israel to deal a decisive blow against Iran so they will not be fighting on two fronts when the inevitable war between the IDF and the Hamas led Palestinians breaks out.
The Palestinians have always been determined to destroy Israel. The only difference between Fatah and Hamas is that Fatah wants to first weaken Israel's position as much as possible via negotiated victories before they turn to force of arms, and Hamas wants to just get on with it now.
Can't argue with that.
PING
I won't be afraid as long as Israel's hands are not tied behind her back and prevented from doing whatever needs to be done. I do thank God on a daily basis that we now have adults in the White House for a change, and so HOPEFULLY that won't happen.
Oh, I'd be fearing plenty if I were you. This particular situation isn't mentioned in Prophacy however. In fact, the 'second war' which seems to be coming soon,(probably Iran) Is even shown to be victorious for us. Israel makes a treaty and there is peace- for a short while. It is short lived, A power grows. "The Confederation of the Medes" is this alliance which will destroy the ME, and much of Europe eventualy, and finaly, the vatican.
"Sharpen the arrows, take up the shields! The Lord has stirred up the king of the Medes, because his purpose is to destroy Babylon." (Jer.51:51).
That is BAD news. After they do their work, destroy the Church of Christ, it's all but over.
"Closer to Armeggedon than you might think--do not fear these happenings for God rules over the affairs of men."
AMEN.
Oh, oh,
Hamas says the have won (according to some spokesmen above 50%), Fatah says they have won, and the exit polls gave them the win, now the official results are delayed from 7 AM to 9 PM.
Guess what I think will happen?
(Clue: remember the Florida results 2000, but think Dims with bomb-belts and Kalschnikovs...)
Agreed! The IDF will be casting their ballot soon.
