Palestine's Worst Enemies?

The new exile of Jews from Gaza is nearly completed. It is obviously a painful process for all those involved -- eviction from one's home is a nightmare anytime. However, one of the boasts of Hamas is that it has somehow engineered this expulsion. To the contrary it may in fact have consolidated the claims of Israel to its settlements elsewhere. IMHO the main enemies of Palestinian interests have been those terrorists -- Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad:

who have offered Israeli pols the excuse to extend their tit for tat retaliations from on high on 'terrorists' and to continue on, if they are given the further excuse by terrorist violence to do so, with the enclosure of Gaza and its isolation from the remnants of Palestine. We shall see what eventuates? More rockets over the line, new suicide bombings, whatever and Palestine is doomed to piecemeal dissection. "Vengeance is mine!" sayeth the G-d common to these tormented peoples: Deuteronomy 32:35.

We shall see what happens now. Will Hamas continue its pointless mosquito bites or will it become a political party? If the former, Palestine will over the long run suffer the prolonged death of its peoples. If otherwise there may still be some hopes for peace in that tormented region.
