Lavrov Defends Russia’s Talks with Hamas

Actually, Hamas won 44.5 percent in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections. One of many sources for this is leading terrorism expert Matthew Levitt: http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/excerpts/levitt_hamas.pdf

This just edged out Fatah. Obviously neither are particularl fans of the Jewish people and its state.

Hamas was overwhelmingly elected in the last Palestinian Authority Elections. 
It won 90% of the vote in Gaza and well over half of the vote in the West Bank.

GAZA effectivly is an independant nation - it doesnt take orders from Nablus, Jerusalem, nor Washington.

Wheras my Australia is not an independant nation - it follows the dictates of Washington.
