Israel weighs punitive steps against Hamas

A free Democratic style election is the goal right? But what happens when the results of that process don't go your way? Well lets look at what "DEMOCRATIC" advocating Israel plans in light of Palestines free Democratic style election that went terribly wrong in the eyes of Israel.
In Tel Aviv, Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and advisers proposed a clampdown that included barring all Palestinians from working in Israel and from traveling across Israel between Gaza and the West Bank once the Palestinian parliament is sworn in on Saturday. Mofaz's ministry also recommended that Israel squeeze the Palestinian Authority financially by immediately stopping all tax revenue transfers and by exerting pressure on international donors to freeze all but humanitarian assistance.
How can the U.S. and Israel continue to promote Democracy to the whole world, only to then turn around and complain about the results? The results don't show that Democracy failed. What it shows is that it actually worked, the people spoke and were heard. The only ones who got it wrong was the U.S. and Israel when they misunderstood the wants and wills of the people, the real people, not the ones that "they" imagined. And now as a result these fickle powers want to punish these same people for exercising their voting powers.
