In this case because Israel is illegally besieging the Gaza portion of Palestine, and of course over all Hamas is the only remaining resistance organization that is actually resisting Israel`s further encroachment on Palestinian land and resources.

Much like Lebanon`s Hezbollah.

Abbas`s Fatah long ago forfeited that. As far as I know, Abbas has not even been president since January 9 2009.

Sure he`s the West`s and Israel`s fair-haired boy but he`s not to the `Street.

Sharon`s unilateral withdrawal proved one thing to one side and a much different view emerged on the side of the reality based crowd.

The state of Palestine must be considered as a whole and not piece-mealed as Israel has tried to do.

Peace. Not Piece.
