How bad is the Hammas victory?

Many were probably born in Jordan, as well as other places. But that's not really the point.

You never really hear anybody question whether or not Palestinians are from palestine. Most of the time, the argument is presented as an occupier versus the occupied. Jews, maybe from Europe or Russia, decided they wanted some beach front property and thought a slice on the Mediterranean would be nice. I think it's that perspective that makes people remind us that Jews have always been there, and were in fact all over the Middle East.
