Talkback
Title: Yes, Palestinians have the right to elect their government Name: Elihu City: Efrat State: Israel
They also have to accept the consequences of electing a band of war criminals, who delight in deliberately rocketing civilian poulations, It`s called accountabilitt. The shortages of supplies -especially fuel and elctricity ar manufactured by Hamas. If the elected government spent a just fraction of the energy and resources they spen on terrorist activity and gang-related in-fighting on trying to actually build something Palestinians would have a much better life in short order. There is no question that rocketing Sderot is a war crime - calling it "resistance" is foolishness. Israel has withdrawn from Gaza - Hamas has chosen to make it a launching pad. They do so at their extreme peril. There is a limit even to Olmert`s foolish restraint.
