She was afraid that Hamas internal control would now mean harrassment of those who, like her, did not cover their heads. No, she had not been threatened, neither in the year that the Hamas cabinet had been in office, not in the past few days. But she was fearful, despite denials by Hamas, that it would happen soon.

06-19-07 - The scene of Fatahland flowering as Hamastan wilts is sheer fantasy the whole idea rests on a series of faulty assumptions. First, it assumes that Israel will indeed come through with the goodies it promises. On this, the record is not encouraging. Ehud Olmert has repeatedly met Abbas and promised the release of tax funds or greater freedom of movement, only to do nothing. Second, even if Israel does hand over the cash, there is no guarantee that Abbas's Fatah-dominated administration could translate that into improvements on the ground. Again, past experience is not encouraging. Put crudely, Fatah has shown itself to be either corrupt or incompetent or both.
Which is exactly WHY Hamas was elected in the first place - the corruption of Fatah.
