Any polls/surveys conducted about the popularity of Hamas before and after the war?
Q. Are/were there any polls/surveys conducted about the popularity of Hamas in Palestine and around the world before and after the war ? I know that their popularity has swelled but are there any polls/surveys which can give the statistics? Hamas was democratically elected. The Palestinian people elected them. If you jews and the Bush administration decided not to accept the results thats your problem. Hamas is here to stay, it will outlast israel. I am not Palestinian but I support Hamas.

I am an avid supporter of them. Greetings

How are off-market wholesale gold transactions conducted?
Q. There seems to be a lot of scams out there surrounding offers for the sale of wholesale quantities of gold originating from West Africa. How would these transactions be properly conducted if they are legitimate offers?

A. Through legitimate brokers. Look at it this way, if there was so much discounted gold on the open market then legitimate buyers would grab it immediately. So they either are not legit or if they are legit it is pointless to deal with these unregulated iffy people when you can buy gold for close to the same price from a trusted source.
