But none of that would quell Hamas’s thirst to destroy all of Israel.

Lebanon’s Daily Star on Hamas-Fatah Internecine Fighting
The Daily Star wrote a compellingly sad editorial on how Hamas and Fatah are killing the Palestinian dream. Both have cared more about their power than the Palestinian cause, but it is not a balanced blame.
