The Woes of Hamas

Time magazine online has an article entitled How Will Hamas Rule? In the article they mention that shrub is insistent he will not send funds to a Hamas led government - $1.1 billion last year. In fact he has already ordered them to return some foreign aid already sent. And he won't deal with them.

--unless the group renounces violence and recognizes the Jewish state.

Renounce violence, maybe, but recognise Isreal? Not likely.

In an earlier post I made a case for Hamas' not having a chance to rule. How can any government rule when almost no one, including their neighbor won't deal with them and a huge chunk of their annual income dries up?

We may never know how or in what manner Hamas will operate. They may be DOA.
