gaza bombing (you knew I was going to bring this up!)

Serious question for abcdxxxx: Why do you think the Israelis didn't do more to curtail Hamas throughout its history? Surely there were segments of the Israeli power structure who could have forseen that a bottom-up, grassroots religious movement who took great care to eliminate internal corruption would become a far more formidable opponent than the crumbling, hated and notoriously corrupt Fatah party?

On a larger scale, wouldn't you agree that true socialism is vastly preferable to the absolutely insane division of wealth and the islamofascist paradigm nurtured by the west ever since the third reich sent advisors to cairo?
