"There's no doubt that Hamas have made poor choices post-election regarding violence etc.,"

What do you mean "poor choices" Nickhere??? No choices have been made by Hamas what they have done and the path that they have chosen is writ clear and large in their founding Charter.

It has been the Palestinian people who have made poor choices in electing the tossers to provide them with some form of Goverment which of course they NEVER will.

&0 years down the track!! - Slow learning curve, or what??
