Thursday's Ha'aretz, quoting a Palestinian taking refuge in a Tel Aviv hospital:
"I wanted to shoot myself for voting Hamas," another patient said. He came with his brother, who had been shot in the head while evacuating wounded people in his taxi. "We really believed Hamas would change things," he said.

Well, it has changed things.... It has managed to dismantle the Gaza economy and is now busily attempting to annihilate the Gazan people. Then, standing on the mound of bodies, they will proclaim their undying hate for and defiance towards Israel, and proclaim a moral victory.
Great articles, Carl.
If the Israelis were smart they'd set this guy up with his own blogsite and write whatever he likes. A partial light is dawning in that brain, which can only be an improvement.

That would be a bad idea--the quoted Palestinian's next three reported paras were (emphasis mine):
"Hamas has money and weapons for the next 20 years. All the youngsters want to join it, it offers good wages, not what we get from the Palestinian Authority," he said.
"Hamas is no different from Bush. Israel is also to blame. Israel starved us, wouldn't let Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas] display any achievements or force, while Hamas kept getting stronger."
Israel could have stopped Hamas' attacks on Fatah's offices, but it didn't, he added.
