#1 JERUSALEM NEWSWIRE > HAMAS WILL NOT ALLOW FATAH TO "SERVE" ISRAEL. ION, PALS, etal. > "ISRAEL" WILL BE ACCEPTABLE, BUT NOT "JEWISH ISRAEL". One man, one vote democracy to blur = destroy the Jewish identity???

#2 Hell, if Abbas regards shooting a few fellow Arabs at a violent demonstration as a "heinous crime" I wonder how he would describe blowing up innocent women and chidren at an Israeli restaurant. Oh, hang on....

#3 Blind force and the most bloody and brutal techniques are the only national customs of the Phakestinians.

#4 I didnt even realize Dahlan was still around, Id have thought hed run off someplace safe and retired from politics.

Also surprising that Fatah could pull off something this big. Evidently Hamas really feels threatened - theyve also been under pressure from local clans and from the IJ. And now theyve been put in the position of shooting on stone throwers - I find that sweet, myself.

Not a happy time for Hamas.

I think one of Hamas's problems is that, at the time of their military victory over Fatah, they were not seriously prepared for governance. A second problem is that, even if they were prepared, Gaza is a terrible place to govern. A third is that, although people said they hated the Fatah corruption, what they meant was that they hated the corruption of everybody except their little clique.

#6 "Heinous crime" = "standard operating procedure" in Gaza. The names have changed, but the bullshit still stinks the same.

None of them are. None of them were ever prepared to govern. It's a cult that's splinered and self-destructing* with the death of its leader.

* Too bad they haven't gone the black-tracksuit- matching-sneaker-purple-shroud route...
