The terrorist group Hamas is planning on having one of their members run for President of the Palestinian Authority, the position formerly held by Yasser Arafat.
The opposition is said to be a jailed Palestinian terrorist who is being held for killing four Israelis and a Greek monk.
The jailed Palestinian is said to be in favor of a negotiated settlement with Israel, but Israel won’t release him.
Am I the only one who thinks that having two terrorists run for Palestinian President (formerly held by the father of modern terrorism) is a REAL bad idea? I was talking with someone over the weekend who thought it was not such a bad idea given the fact that the Palestinians are at war with Israel and that Arafat was a PLO terrorist. I told him that this was the kind of appeasement that would cause the Palestinians to be dominated by terror groups whether they wanted it or not.
This will set a very bad precedence and could hurt the democratic process in that region of the Middle East for years to come.
