heureusement, ici, c'est le hamas

The militant Hamas party has won the Palestinian election with a big majority (AFP, Reuters). The problem with this is that the party's platform is not so much concerned with taxes or social programs - it's more focused on the violent destruction of Israel. Needless to say, a lot of people are slightly concerned about what this will mean for peace in the region.
