Youssef Ibrahim writes in the NY Sun that a REAL full scale war is likely to happen, Muslim vs. Muslim, and Fatah vs. Hamas:
This year has been momentous for the Middle East, but 2007 is going to be dramatic. In the Gaza Strip and West Bank, a full-scale factional war will erupt among the Palestinian Arabs, with unpredictable consequences. This time around, the "brotherhood" is over. Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other assorted mafias will participate, while outside sponsors such as Iran, Syria, and Jordan will supply the bullets, rockets, money, and ill-will.
That's one more reason why sanctions must be declared against them, and Fatah, just like Hamas, must be outlawed.
Reliapundit adds: I disagree, Avi: To keep the fight going, Olmert is facilitating the rearming of Fatah. Which is good: Maybe this war will distract the enemy from killing us? As for me: when Shia and Sunni kill each other in Baghdad, and when Hamas and Fatah kil each other in Gaza and the West Bank... well, I don't have DOGS in those fights... I hope that all four sides lose.
