How bad is a Gaza Hamastan?

In the beginning of the 20th Century a group with a genocidal hatred of Jews was elected democratically into government in Germany. They donned their brown shirts and violently extended their power, killing all who opposed them. They then proceeded with their genocide.

In the beginning of the 21st Century another group with a genocidal hatred of Jews was democratically elected into power in Gaza. They have now donned their black masks and grabbed complete control massacring their political opponents. They too, plan to proceed with their genocide.

The difference now is that the Jews are not a stateless, defenseless people. They have their own country and one of the most sophisticated fighting forces in the world. Thus, as disturbing as the current situation is, the fascist racists will not succeed this time in their quest for genocide. The Jewish state will defend itself against these forces of evil, and once again the Palestinians will have created nothing more than a miserable situation for themselves more than for anyone else.

The only real hope is that those who remain in power in the West Bank will be shocked into their senses, finally abandon terrorism and seek a real and lasting peace with Israel. For the Gazans, I can't see any hope at all.

The end of the one state solution

For many years now, fierce opponents of Israel have advocated their "one-state" solution. They claim the only just solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the establishment of a single bi-national state encompassing all areas of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. This Chomskyite solution, is in reality no different from the jihadist goal of eliminating the Jewish state from existence. Whereas Iran and Hamas propose to destroy Israel through bombs and rockets, the Chomskys of this world propose to eliminate it by creating another arab state, this one with a Jewish minority.

And now, as civil war breaks out between Hamas and Fatah the situation on the ground has changed. While some have worried that the only real solution - the "two-state" solution will no longer be viable, the events of recent weeks have, in reality, done more to ensure the end of the "one-state" solution.

As Palestinians butcher and massacre each other, throw each other off multi-story buildings, commit knee-cappings and shoot hospital patients in the head, the question of whether Israelis and Palestinians could live together in peace in a single bi-national state is rendered moot - the Palestinians cannot even live with themselves in peace, let alone their sworn enemies.
