"Papers reported that some people in Gaza even want the Israelis to return
to the Strip. Faiz Abbas and Muhammad Awwad, journalists for the Israeli-Arab
weekly Al-Sinara, wrote: 'People in Gaza are hoping that Israel will reenter the
Gaza Strip, wipe out both Hamas and Fatah, and then withdraw again... They also
say that, since the [start of the] massacres, they [have begun to] miss the
Israelis, since Israel is more merciful than [the Palestinian gunmen] who do not
even know why they are fighting and killing one another. It's like organized
crime, [they said]. Once, we resisted Israel together, but now we call for the
return of the Israeli army to Gaza.' [20] "
What I think is missed in the debate about Hamas, is this is not just an issue of Israel and its security. Talking about the Palestinians, they themselves deserve better government than this. They deserve a government invested in their interests and not the parties personal goals.
