The Election That Wasn't

Palestinians voted out corrupt criminals and voted in sociopathic terrorists. Their society was poisoned by years of Arafat's incoherent grandiosity and criminality, confining Palestinian options long ago, leaving them with a choice that is no choice, in an election that was no election; a mix of Palestinian despair, the degradations of their warmly embraced death cult mentality, the clown alley of the UN, and the confused detritus of a once admirable progressive Left, has enabled this bizarre outcome — an election from hell. I wonder if Jimmy Carter when he next bares his teeth, in what appears an attempt to provide a smile, will catch on, after his jabbering that it was “good” that Hamas was involved in the election process; what needs to be done, of course, is to pressure the Palestinians — a novel idea — towards, not an election, not democracy, but common decency.
