Andy the Don said:I have read that Hamas are about to take over in Gaza. Which has always been the more social & religously conservative of the Palastinian "statelets". But have not heard about Fatah gunmen being executed. Have you are source for it..??

Groucho said:Well to be fair Fatah started a civil war having received US $$$ to launch an attack on the Govt. It is the old tactic of divide and rule, and of buying off corrupt elements of the population.
The civil war has been going on for weeks as Fatah launched an attempt to militarily topple the Hamas Government. However, Fatah aren't especially supported by Palestinians so they may well come off worse.
warren said:Sky news were saying that Fatah gunmen were taken out of a building and shot dead.

I await for the Arab governments to volunteer their forces, but will not hold my breath.
if by giving them enough rope you mean illigally occupiing their land, shelling them continiously since the withdrawal the utter and total destruction the entire areas infrastructure during the pull out and subsiquent shelling, theif of over a billion dollars worth of taxation collectd on behalf of palestine but refusal to return it to them until they renounce their legitimatly elected governement, the persuation of europe and the US to suspend all agreed and mandated aide for palestine to force bankruptcy on the nation, to remove rights to water souces electricty form all palestinians to make them lower than sewer rats in the food chain in terms of equatable access to education, work, health care... to then dane to bitch and moan when a few cardboard roll tubes stuffed with match sulpur and other improvised explosives land on fields stolen in the nakbah and claimed as isreali and use this as a justification to start the whole process again...Andy the Don said:Just read that there has been a request for international UN peace keepers. I await for the Arab governments to volunteer their forces, but will not hold my breath. Also read that some Palastinians are now saying that things were better when the Israelis were occupying Gaza. Well as the old adage goes "give 'en enough rope". Meanwhile the chance of peace seems as far away as ever.
They must now know what it must have been like to be a jew in the last century.

Including arab nations.

Peet said:Care to dispute a specific point?
The formation of Israel was probably one of the more peaceful instances of colonisation right up until the Arab riots. So far as I can see the Arabs picked a fight and lost and haven't accepted that. Add to that a deathcult propagandizing them into butchery of Jews in the name of Allah and you have something very nasty on you hands.
As for their factional infighting I really don't care who wins.
