Apparently, when palestinians have no one else to not get along with, they don’t get along with themselves. There is a high state of emergency in Gaza due to clashes between Hamas and Fatah. Hamas is accused of blocking ambulances from reaching wounded Fatah following fighting.
Isn’t this the same tactics used when they are focusing on Israel?
Tensions are not expected to subside anytime soon in the Palestinian Authority as a particularly bloody day of infighting comes to an end in Gaza.
Members were called to “be prepared and defend themselves by any means in the face of attack.”
Fatah has accused Hamas of instigating the violence and for the wave of kidnappings that plagued Gaza on Tuesday, when no less than 23 people were abducted by both organizations.
A woman who was uninvolved in the fighting was also killed today after she was caught in the crossfire between Hamas and Fatah gunmen in Jabaliya.
The story continues here. It is basically a rehash of Hamas blowing themselves up trying to blow up Fatah and running around with hoods on and terrifying people. Everyone is blaming everyone else while doing their own share of terror, shooting, blowing up and creating overall mayhem.
Oh, and they are not honoring cease fire agreements.
This is all so familiar, but usually Israel and/or the United States are blamed for their plight. Neither are involved with this fight so I’m not sure who will be to blame in the end. What use will fauxtology be if the blame can’t be laid at the feet of Israel or the United States?
That has to be a major bummer. But I imagine they’ll find a way to blame us in the long run.
