Hamas Wins Palestininian Elections, By A "Large Majority"

What a shock.

Some reactions at Instapundit.

From Captain's Quarters:

Hamas claimed it had won at least 70 seats in the 132-member parliament, while EU election observer Richard Howitt told the BBC he had been informed that Hamas could have won up to 80 seats. ...

Another Hamas official, Mushir al-Masri, warned that Hamas would not hold peace talks with Israel. "Negotiations with Israel is not on our agenda," he said. "Recognising Israel is not on the agenda either now."

He says the Palestinians have chosen war, and should be so judged. I agree.

The infantilization of the Palestinians, by which they are immunized by the world for the vicious, murderous decisions they as a people make, has got to end. This is a depressing moment, but a clarifying one. Let no one say again that the Palestinians "want peace" and would choose it if only they could get past their extremist and corrupt leadership. They chose war -- as they have been choosing war for 30 years.

It's time they were finally exposed to the consequences of their decisions.

State-sponsored terrorism is for pussies. How about a terrorist-sponsored state?
