Mass murderers Hamas are on the ballot for the upcoming Palestinian elections. By putting Hamas on the ballot, Hamas has moved into mainstream Palestinian politics. Now anything is possible and Hamas may someday lead the Palestinian people.

It would be disastrous for Israeli/Palestinian peace negotiations and for Middle East politics if Hamas won the Palestinian elections. Hamas has killed hundreds if not thousands of innocent children, women and men. The world can't legitimize them.

What would it mean to Middle East politics if Hamas wins the election? You would have a mass murdering group who would be a broker of terrorism in the region. You would have a group who's goal it would be to destroy Israel and undermine the United States. Stability in the region would be impossible and it would could result in an Israeli/Arab war.

Some experts believe that having groups like Hamas in mainstream politics is good because they would be easier to monitor an wouldn't be forced underground. This is nonsense. Hamas is pretty public already. We don't have to legitimize this group.

It would be like saying we should allow Osama Bin Laden to enter Arab politics. It would be like saying it was good to have Hitler in the public eye because Europe could monitor him.

Hamas and its followers view Hitler as a positive figure in world history and even hail Hitler. Many of their followers are Swastika wavers. How could Israel deal with such an organization as Hamas? It obviously couldn't.

With their hatred of Israel we believe that Hamas would attempt a genocide against the Israeli people. Hamas would probably garner support from other radical Arab groups that want to destroy Israel.

The free world needs to stand up to groups like Hamas. We can't tolerate a group like that to enter into mainstream politics. We need to force Hamas out of the Palestinian political equation. The future of Arab/Israeli peace depends on it.

We're not sure why the mainstream press and European governments don't seem to be bothered that Hamas has a goal of the destruction of Israel. How could they think that Hamas would be good for the peace process? They would only be good for the piece process and would try to rip Israel apart piece by piece.

What do the media and European governments think Hamas has to offer the Middle East, other then hate and terror?

Could it be that they don't really care because Hamas's target are Jews? Well maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions that Europe has anti-Semitic tendencies? What reason would we have to come to that conclusion? Oh yea, something called the Holocaust.

Hamas poses a threat to the future of stability and peace in the Middle East. Hamas needs to be forced out of the Palestinian political mainstream. The world can't give Hamas legitimacy. To do so would be akin to giving Osama Bin Laden legitimacy.
