Quote from hapaboy:
Hamas landslide reveals more about left than about Palestinians
...
The list of leftist positions based on a rejection of reality is as long as a list of leftist positions.
That's why it is often said that "a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged." But that, too, is wishful thinking. After some initial cognitive dissonance, the Hamas victory will have little or no impact on most leftists.
The day after the Hamas landslide, the Los Angeles Times editorialized, "Most Palestinians, like most Israelis, want peace." Sure they do. Just not with Israel.
