Israel are tightening the grip tighter on Gaza http://www.reuters.com/article/homepageCrisis/idUSLC621368._CH_.2400 GAZA, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Israeli leaders trying to find a knockout blow against Hamas militants defying a 17-day-old assault on the Gaza Strip have sent army reservists into battle. With the Palestinian death toll nearing 900 and international pressure for a ceasefire mounting, Israeli forces might launch a full-scale attack on Hamas smuggling tunnels on Gaza's border with Egypt, and perhaps a wider urban operation.
Hamas is the Palestinian Authority, in case you have been living under a shell for the past four years or so And if you are referring to the ex-President of the Palestinian Colluding Authority, his term expired on the 9th of January 2009. That was three days ago. And by the rules of the Palestinian Basic Law, he is no longer President.
Then you should get yourself educated: http://www.usaid.gov/wbg/misc/Amended_Basic_Law_2003_English.pdf
And a very tasteless one. I suppose you feel that bombing Palestinian refugees out of existence is one big joke as well. It figures.
