Gazan Arms Race

Well, Fatah and Hamas are at it again in Gaza. Hamas wants to retain supremacy in Gaza, and Fatah is doing its best (which isn't saying much) to undermine Hamas control. Hamas attempted to go after one of the thuggish clans in Gaza, and got itself into a major gun battle with Fatah thugs.

Three dead and more than 35 injured. Several more Fatah thugs were captured as they were trying to escape dressed as women.

That's a pretty common tactic when you demand that women wear the hijab and burkha so that they're completely covered.

The level of confrontation between Hamas and Fatah has significantly increased in the past two weeks, and that bodes poorly for the Palestinians who have chosen to support both terrorist groups - Fatah and Hamas.

Islamic Jihad says that it's trying to mediate between Fatah and Hamas - to get the two terror groups to stop fighting each other and keep their eye on the prize - fighting Israel.

This should remove any doubts over what would happen in a Palestinian country. The terrorist group factions would all fight each other for power and control, when they weren't busy trying to fight Israel. Peace simply cannot be achieved under such conditions.
