The Associated Press: Hamas boycotts session of parliament called by Abbas
Talkback

More flowers on the grave of the "unity" government. Democracy cannot be born through the Islamofascism of the Muslim Brotherhood, or their Palestinian branch, Hamas. Palestinian democracy can only be born over their strenuous and often violent objections. Real democracy requires women`s equality, freedom of speech, and the press, and religion (even to apostasize). There is more chance that Abbas and Fayad will bring that about than that Hamas will (heck, there`s ZERO chance Hamas will do it). So this is an unfotunate but necessary phase in the path to Palestinian - and Israeli - progress.
