@not2b Double check your sources on that.
@AlliFlowers My sources are good, thanks. Perhaps you are thinking of the election where Hamas won and the other side refused to recognize this, followed by a civil war. The outcome of that was that Hamas wound up in control of Gaza and Fatah had control in the West Bank. But only the PA, headed up by Abbas, has international recognition, and they aren't Hamas.
@AlliFlowers That is ignorant. The PA is headed up by Hamas's rival for power, Fatah.
