Former President Bill Clinton discusses how Palestine's Hamas party came to power in Gaza, by comparing the opposition Fatah party to Democrats in the southern U.S. "Fatah carelessly and foolishly ran both its slates and too many Parliamentary seats," says former Clinton. "If you want to go and have an election, the details matter."

2 party systems suck

[mohamadaqil]

Hamas won because they are what the Palestinian people want. Fatah lost because they are traitors to their own nation. Simple.

Listen here Clinton, the details matter but they dont change democracy. Just because your puppet party lost, don't whine like a little bitch and get that Zionist dick off your mouth and stop soliciting blow jobs from Sharon since Lewinsky was too feminine for ya.

America wants chaos so they can sell weapns around the world. Israel should stop supporting this corrupt regime.

[goldenmsh]

America is not the "honest broker" that they pretend to be. 60 years of bullshit have caused the Israelis to dominate and oppress the Palestinians and America supports Israel. Palestinians have been killed with American technology for decades. Any agreement now will leave Palestine with the shit end of the stick. Maybe just a little less shit than they have now.
