They see Hamas pulling in the outside money and figure they get things done. So thats who they vote for.
And if they're THAT stupid(ignorant perhaps) then they're really asking to get pile-drived into the concrete.

Rarely does life reward stupidity. And this case should be no different.

I immensely dislike religious bigots and those who don't interpret the scriptures with their brains, keeping in mind the current world political, military, social and cultural environment.

You see the thing is Islamics want the whole world to go Green....and they use the out in open tools and voices to spread this message.

Christians want the whole world to follow Christianity but they use very covert and indirect tools to implement this goal.

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY MUDEREROUS IN BOTH OF THESE RELIGIONS AND HENCE ALL THE PROBLEMS IN TODAY'S WORLD.

Gaza citizens vote for protection, pure and simple. They feel more protected by Hamas than anyone else.

Same for Hezbollah....they do more for the citizens in Lebanon than the Government does, so they support them, and the lazy a$$es allow it because it's less work for them.

This is very screwed up.

They feel more protected with tanks rolling through their streets and bombs falling from their skies? I guess they are stupid then...

It's more like Islam demands that you follow and untill you do your an unbeleiver and an infidel.

Christianity spreads the word and lets you come to it.

I don't remember the last time I heard of a Christian murdurous rampage, in fact has there ever been one in our times?!!

when people get bombed at, they don't really seem to remember who caused them to get bombed at after a while.

Yep. It's one of the short-circuits in human logic patterns.

LOL.

Which is why you typically have to inflict wholesale slaughter until there's just nothing left to resist you but a few million people who have a look in their eyes like the German or Japanese people did after WWII.

Shame. Crushing defeat. Total capitulation.

Else, they never give up.

"For a war to be won, it is not enough for one side to claim victory. It is also necessary for one side to admit defeat. Yet in the Arab-Israeli wars, the side that had won every time was not allowed to claim victory, while the side that had lost was prevented from admitting defeat. Why? Because each time the United Nations had intervened to put the victor and the vanquished on an equal basis and lock them into a problematic situation in the name of a mythical quest for an impossible peace."

~Amir Taheri

"You've got to kill people, and when you've killed enough they stop fighting."
~Ulysses S. Grant - General of the Army and US President.

Neither lack of memeory, or lack of intelligence, remove their responsibility...
