Elections

I don't do politics, but I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio) while driving back from school, the topic was the elections result in Palestine. I slowly understood that Fath (it s called Fattah here) was described as the peaceful party while Hamas was the symbol of threat and terror.
It gets ironic when these two words are translated from Arabic:
- Hamass: Passion, excitement.
- Fath: Conquest, victory.

Well, as a non expert reader, I would have assumed from its name that Hamass is friendlier.
