IN GAZA, THE NEW YEAR IS JUST LIKE THE LAST: FATAH AND HAMAS KILLING EACH OTHER

BBC:
Three die as Gaza factions clash

Map showing Gaza Three people have been killed and a number wounded as the rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas clashed in the south of the Gaza Strip.

Three people were shot dead at a Fatah rally in the town of Khan Younis, at least one of them a Hamas policeman.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas earlier called for a "new page" to be opened in ties between Fatah and Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in June. However, a Hamas spokesman said Mr Abbas's speech offered nothing new.

  • YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE NEW?
  • IF THE PALESTINIANS STARTED TO BEHAVE LIE CIVILIZED PEOPLE.
  • AND IF THEY ADHERED TO OSLO OR THE ROADMAP.
    • THEY PREFER THE KORAN AND THE PLO CHARTER.
    HEY: YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

    UPDATE: IT'S WORSE:
    At least five Palestinians were killed and around 40 wounded in armed clashes on Monday between Fatah loyalists and Hamas police in the south of the Islamist-ruled Gaza Strip, medical sources said.

    A 12-year-old boy, two other civilians and a member of the Hamas police were killed in exchanges of gunfire during a rally east of the southern Gaza town of Khan Yunis, the sources said.

    Hamas police spokesman Islam Shahwan told AFP that the rally marking 43 years since the founding of the secular Fatah movement had turned into a "gunbattle".

    • IS THIS BUSH'S FAULT OR ISRAEL'S!? ER UM... NO.
    • WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE READINESS AND DESIRE OF PALESTINIANS FOR DEMOCRACY AND STATEHOOD!?

    IT SAYS THAT IT WOULD BE DEADLY DUMB TO GIVE THEM A STATE.
