The Pals were offered a choice of corrupt and failed Fatah or an organised and active Hamas who had delivered extensively on grassroots projects. Israel and the US decided that this was the 'wrong' kind of democracy and shut down the fledgling Pal state.Until the people there say "Enough!" and beats up their politicians and generals for not delivering them peace these kind of news don't impress me.
I would say "Wow!" and would be surprised if I would here that Israel have sent humanitarian help to the Palestinians instead of tanks.
