Not really, but if they did, they'd probably break that one, too. "Hamas Militants Kill 6 Fatah Bodyguards," from the Associated Press:
Hamas gunmen killed five of their own combatants in an ambush Wednesday on a Fatah vehicle that had been carrying Hamas detainees, Fatah officials said.
Also killed were two members of the Fatah-affiliated Preventive Security force that had been guarding the detained Hamas members, the officials said.
The exact circumstances of the incident were not immediately clear. Hamas radio reported that a Hamas man was killed in another clash.
Four days of intense Palestinian infighting in the Gaza Strip has killed 41 people.
And, of course, Israel made them do it.
Nothing fanciful at all about such speculatons, Robert. The probabilities of deadly disputes breaking out within groups of violence-embracing ultra fanatics are quite high. You need look no further than to the Nation of Islam and the assassination of Malcom X or Bin Laden having his former mentor Mullah Azzam whacked, when Azzam denounced Bin Laden's global jihad ambitions.(Azzam figured that jihad started at home.)
You fly with the crows, you get shot with the crows.
Nice shot.
Things like this happen when no one wears a uniform and all combatants prefer dressing like "civilians", just in case some are killed and they can blame the Israelies for killing "civilians."
Now if Israel would just issue the destruction orders for all of Gaza we could move on to more meaningful things.
Just issue orders to Hamas to get Fatah and for Fatah to take care of Hamas, Israel... we have other things to do.
Sounds like the Hatfields and the Hatfields.
No, wait.
killed by friendly fire?...ha...
Man those Jews are brilliant-getting these peaceful palestinians to kill each other!
Of course the violence inducing Koran wouldn't have anything at all to do with this. Unless those clever Jews came up with that as well.
Go Fatah!
Go Hamas!
Annihilate one another!
It just can't get any better than that.
Unless they wish to be Greener about their killing. Save the Planet, lower Carbon emissions by forgetting the driving around. Just get them all in a Building and play an updated version of Dodge Ball. Only with Guns.
and when they stop shooting each other, because yes Fatah is US and Israeli state backed using this tit for tat war to weaken and pin Hamas, then the real war begins.
hammas, fattah, hizbolah, they are all the same monsters, and so they feed on each others, good things come to those who wait.
I wish them all (and themselves who shoot their own) a long and healthy war.
"While doing this some Americans have developed stereotypes and wrong ways of thinking about Islam."
Correction: While doing this some Americans have developed a clearer understanding and are less fooled in their ways of thinking about Islam.
It's not as easy to pull the wool over their eyes -- except politicians, academics and religious leaders.
