"Hamas to halt Palestinian vote in Gaza" by Bloomberg | October 29, 2009
TEL AVIV - Hamas will bar residents of the Gaza Strip from voting in elections that Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, has called for in January, officials said.
The order issued yesterday by the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza means that only West Bank Palestinians will be able to participate in both presidential and parliamentary elections Abbas scheduled for Jan. 24.
Hamas seized control of Gaza in June 2007 and purged leaders of Abbas’s Fatah Party in a wave of violence....
Yeah, except "Hamas overwhelmingly won Palestinian Parliament elections in 2006"
Yup, the MSM KNOWS THEY WON but keeps repeating the same garbage!
Hamas “rejects the holding of elections in the Gaza Strip because they were announced by someone who has no right to make such an announcement....,’’ the Interior Ministry said in the order. Hamas won parliamentary elections in January 2006 for the Palestinian Legislative Council, which hasn’t been able to produce a quorum since the Gaza takeover.
You see? THEY KNOW, and yet SO OFTEN we get CRAP like what is above.
The only SEIZING going on is ISRAEL SEIZING MORE LAND!
A poll published Oct. 18 by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center suggested that 40 percent of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza would vote for Fatah compared with 18.7 percent for Hamas....
The same JMCC that was the "recepient of $365,000 in Ford Foundation funding?"
