Fateh vs. Hamas

Why do Fateh and Hamas keep teasing the civilized world with their constant brinksmanship and stubborn refusal to plunge themselves entirely into civil war?

Three Palestinians were killed Sunday in Gaza gunbattles between militants from the ruling Hamas party and security personnel loyal to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah, hospital officials said.

Militiamen from Hamas used guns, antitank launchers and grenades to break up police protests over unpaid government salaries, touching off gunbattles.

Dozens of supporters from Abbas' Fatah Party retaliated by ransacking and torching the empty Cabinet building in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The Fatah supporters had earlier marched through the city, the seat of the Palestinian government, burning tires and shouting, "Hamas, out, out."

What kind of wretched, bloodthirsty, and loathesome mentality equates the term "antitank launcher" with "riot control" ?

President Bush just blocked Congress' sanctions against the Palestinians. I'm hoping that he's thinking the more bullets they trade our aid for, the greater the thinning of the violent and fanatical herd among the Palis.

Because otherwise, Bush would have to be some king of outrageous moron for thinking aid of any sort will boost moderates in a cesspool of ever-escalating fanatacism which has only one goal: the destruction of Israel or passive support of elements that work and indoctrinate future generations towards that savage goal.

If there's a Murphy's Law, that something unexpected happens ...

And, syria is letting the hez-bullies restock their anti-tank missiles, how long will it be before a french tank goes UP?

You thought anti-tank missiles differentiate between french tanks and Merkiva's? Why?

nasrallah's loading up for bear, again.

ANd, Amir Peretz is no fool. He's already told the IDF that if "rocks come flying out of Lebanon, as per usual; then the IDF is to SHOOT BACK.

I'm assuming the french will just get in the way.

Any bets the french take a licking, first?

If SOuthern Lebanon is now in the UN protection racket, I suspect the unexpected.

Can Olmert just sit on his duff as no kidnapped soldiers return?

Is the Katzav sex scandal, (which is really a blackmailing scandal), enough to keep Israelis at a loss on what do with their their elected officials?)

Perhaps, you'll need a bingo card? Remember to put in at least one anti-tank shot hitting a french tank. Just for the headline values.
