Sh*t is going to go down now! In case you haven't heard, Hamas won a large majority of the seats in the Palestinian parliament. It was completely unexpected, and the rest of the world does not know what to do.

Bush: Hamas may cost Palestinians aid

"US President George W. Bush warned of cuts in US aid to the Palestinians if the Islamic militant group Hamas does not dissolve its armed wing and renounce threats against Israel."

Hamas's main platform is calling for the destruction of the state of Israel. So this is bad bad bad for the peace process.

I worry now about the upcoming Israeli elections. After Sharon's stroke I thought that his acting Prime Minister would be ok and would win in the elections and continue the peace process. But now I suspect Israel will elect Netanyahu again and the Likud party will move Israel away from the peace process, whatever is left of it. Such a shame.
