Hopefully the withdrawal from Gaza will cause a fall in the support for Hamas in Gaza and elsewhere... But I don't think so.

Well their share of the vote declined by over 10% so maybe there is a little hope .
Then again the next generation of voters may be more radicalised than the current one .
It may well work out that the clever ******** hearts and minds policy of healthcare and education provision will pay off in increasing their support .

I suppose there is always the slim chance that they may moderate their stance in the way that many of the other Palestinian parties/groups have , but that at the moment seems a very slim chance .
