this just in...

this flag flies more proudly today in palestine than it did just a few days ago...

hamas, denounced by the west and israel as a major terrorist group (as if the u.s. and israel are NOT terrorists in their own right) and threat to world peace, wins the majority of the seats in the palestinian legislative council in this past week's elections in palestine.

may this web site be among the first of non-arab-based web sites to offer this salutation:

many congratulations on hamas's triumph in the elections.

it shows, perhaps, what i've been saying for the past twenty years: that america and israel are the greatest threats to world security, are the two foremost leaders in committing acts of terrorism the world over, and that someone, somewhere, somehow has to begin to make the stand against america and israel; it can't be done alone, by one person, it has to start with a culture, a people, an oppressed population who've been duped not only by washington and tel aviv, but also by its own people (yes, this is an indictment of fatah, the erstwhile ruling party in palestine that has been so ousted from the majority in the legislative council). in fact, it is fatah that perhaps deserves the most wrath and derision for how it's sold out the palestinian people on so many occasions in the past two decades, none more so than with its acquiescence to the oslo "peace" accords (my quotations added around the word peace).

more to come on this monumental decision by the palestinian people because the repercussions of this election victory are not going to die down soon...
