Prophecy
If it weren't for my Israeli uncle, I would have never known who Habakkuk was. For all those Tanach illiterate yeshiva boys like myself, Habakkuk is one of the neviim in the Trei Assar. I had to look it up to be sure.
With elections coming up in Israel, the new Kadima party's stance, together with the recent palestinian/hamas election results, the average Joe can understandably be confused. It seems that Habakkuk had it figured out a long time ago. Take a look at 1: 9.
כֻּלֹּה לְחָמָס יָבוֹא, מְגַמַּת פְּנֵיהֶם קָדִימָה וַיֶּאֱסֹף כַּחוֹל, שֶׁבִי
(on a related note, why is it that any time I need a decent biblical quote, the only place to go is a christian site??)

Heblliterate: You lose some of gist of it, but here it is:
"They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand."
THe hebrew word used for violence being 'Hamas' and the hebrew word used for east wind being 'kadima'.
