Lessee. These Christian Einsteins vote in Hamas, knowing Hamas stands for one thing, a war to obliterate Israel. Hamas starts a war with Israel, despite Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and intention to withdraw from the West Bank. Whose fault is the war? The idiots who voted in Hamas? Of course not, it's Bush's fault.

So what do the Einsteins' children do about this? Why, immigrate to America, of course, the land Bush governs.

I guess this makes sense to someone.

I don't think the people who were voting were thinking about what a Hamas victory would mean politically in Israel. They probably were thinking at a very micro level, i.e. I have to eat, those Fatah people have been stealing aid money for years and letting us starve; let's try the other guys who are now outside the government and therefore yet untouched by corruption. It's a similar feeling to the "throw the bums out" anti-incumbent dynamic that grips our own electorate once in a while.

Putting myself in their shoes, they see Israel making decisions that make sense to Israel, but make it difficult not only for the Hamas people, but for the non-Hamas people too to survive. By Israel not caring what happens to innocent people, those people over time will radicalize.
