Hamastan is broke:
Hamas says PA coffers are 'empty'
Mr Haniya said he would make every effort to pay employees
The Palestinian prime minister has told the first meeting of his Hamas-led cabinet that the government is facing a deep financial crisis.
Ismail Haniya says his administration inherited a finance ministry that had no money left, yet had mounting debts.
He said the new leadership would do its best to pay the wages of more than 100,0000 Palestinian Authority workers.
The international community is using financial pressure to require Hamas to recognize Israel:
Aid donors have threatened to cut funds to the PA if Hamas does not change its doctrine of non-recognition of Israel.
Hamastan is finally at the mercy of the West. It's essential to keep up the pressure on this nation of terrorists until they give up their evil purposes. Per Daniel Pipes:
Israel needs only to defeat the Palestinian Arabs, not the whole Arab or Muslim populations, who eventually will follow the Palestinian Arab lead.
... Ironically, Israeli success in crushing the Palestinian Arab war morale would be the best thing that ever happened to the Palestinian Arabs. It would mean their finally giving up their foul dream of eliminating their neighbor and would offer a chance instead to focus on their own polity, economy, society, and culture. To become a normal people, one whose parents do not encourage their children to become suicide terrorists, Palestinian Arabs need to undergo the crucible of defeat.

#2It does seem out of character. But I hope there may be a possibility that it could continue. The situation is so unprecedented -- with the terrorists of Hamastan seeking financing from the Western nations they wish to destroy -- that the result may be unexpected.
#3I'm sorry Vik, but it seems that I was very much correct in my assumption. I just opened the paper today, and, low and behold, the European Council has invited Hamas to a session. Expect the checks to soon follow.

#4There's reason to believe you are right; but I continue to be optimistic.
The only sad thing is that this pressure will, most likely, not last very long. France, as expected, has been secretly meeting with Hamas officials and will continue giving aid. Remember, most the world, especially the European countries, the PA's biggest donors, see the Palestinians as the righteous victims. They may be talking big now, but as is customary in that part of the world, their talk is cheap. Expect to see the money freely flowing to "Hamastan" within the next few months.
