Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Hamas' strong showing in Palestinian parliamentary elections will likely lead to an all-out war with Israel, a leading expert here said on Thursday.

Hamas soundly defeated Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction in Wednesday's parliamentary elections, winning more than half the seats.

That gives Hamas a major say in the makeup of the next Palestinian government. It also gives the terrorist group the opportunity to put its own members in charge of tens of thousands of Palestinian Authority security forces.

Good. Total victory by Israel is the only logical way to end this.

Well, it is not like a Fatah victory would have led to peace!

Right now, it's a war disguised as a "peace process."

Soon, it'll be a war that's called a war.

No, it'll just stay status quo. Hamas isn't going to do anything big until demographics guarantee the one-state solution, and Israel's hands are tied by world opinion. It's not about to re-occupy Gaza, after all.

Now that the terrorists have been placed into power by the vote of the people will we continue to hear that it is only a small fringe minority of muslims who believe in terrorism? Or will it be admitted that Islam is a terrorist religion?

HUH? What? War? You mean...you mean putting the terrorists that have been strapping bombs onto children and blowing up students at universities, that might actually be a foreshadow of war to come, now that they're in charge? REALLY? OH MY GOD! HOW DID YOU EVER SEE THAT! IT JUST BLINDSIDED ME! I SHOULD HAVE HAD MY GLASSES ON! GOOD GOD, HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY......YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! I HAD NO IDEA!

War. Freaking bring it. Israel head to head is the toughest in the world militarily. I'd love to see a huge pile of Ak-47's for sale in Jerusalem, with the sign (in Hebrew of Course)"Never been fired, only dropped once."

"Soon, it'll be a war that's called a war."

Only if Israel is given the green light by the UN.

I favor a Holy Land Thunderdome.

Better than this current silliness where innocents are the primary targets by one side, and the only humane participant is blamed for all conflict.
