I Told Ya

It's the old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" syndrome:

The Hamas takeover of Gaza "could doom the long-held Palesinian vision of uniting Gaza and the West Bank into a single independent state," says the LAT in a Page One analysis. It now seems increasingly likely that, as predicted, Abbas will let Hamas govern Gaza while he controls the West Bank. The NYT talks to some Israeli officials who welcome the idea of a divided government and will increase security operations to prevent Hamas fighters from entering the West Bank. Assuming things go as planned, Israel would then push to improve relations with the Abbas government and begin giving back the remaining Palestinian tax money.

Does anyone really think that Hamas will be satisfied without the West Bank?

If so, be prepared for (catch this) a(nother) war between Israel and Hamas except this time it will be to protect Fatah! Who could have imagined ......
