The 2006 elections were hotly contested as to their legitimacy and then fought over.  As the present conflict develops, any underlying unknown political topology will at first be irrelevant — because there’s a war on — and then relevant IF Israel goes the full measure, perhaps with Egypt, of completely overhauling the area’s cultural infrastructure that instills, develops, and operationalizes Islamic terrorism.  The step after that follows the Imperial Japanese model, but God forbid the modern world cannot repair its fascist and feudal enclaves, Hamas in Gaza being but the edge of a scythe designed to destroy the humanity of humanity.
