In a lot of I/P diaries it is often noted by the supporters of current Israeli/Bush administration foreign policy that (at the risk of oversimplification) Hamas is bad.
I acknowledge that this is true. Fatah however is no better. IMHO it is worse as it lacks the virtue of any real popular support. I put it to the community given the choice the Palestinians had been given living in poverty, and rampant unemployment in an overpopulated and increasingly tiny sliver of what once was your people's land.
Whom would you choose? I'd love to hear your reasoning and also any suggestions you might have for making I/P dialogue here less caustic. So somewhat of an open thread here. Go to it. No flame wars allowed tonight.
Update for the font challenged poll choices from top to bottom are hamas, fatah, and of course pie
