Hamas Has Lost the Right to Rule Gaza
(Wall Street Journal) Walter Russell Mead - Hamas has lost the right to rule Gaza. It must be dismantled and disarmed, and neither Israel nor its neighbors can permit the group to return to power. In Gaza, more than two million people are crowded into a barren wasteland with few natural resources. A rational Palestinian leadership would understand that, so situated, the only hope for the people of Gaza lies in close collaboration with Egypt and Israel. Yet Hamas has done all it could to keep Gaza wretched while inculcating an ideology of genocidal rage. The writer, a fellow at the Hudson Institute, is Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College.
