Interpreting the Palestinian Vote: The “Can’t Win” Syndrome

January 30, 2006 by Don Radlauer 4 Comments

In the aftermath of Hamas’ surprising (at least to most of us) victory in the Palestinian legislative elections, a lot of commentators have decried the Palestinians’ supposed preference for terrorism over peacemaking, rejectionism over recognition of Israel, and so on.
