It’s militiamen versus cops in the Gaza Strip:

Eight Palestinians, including four civilians, have been killed and about 60 injured in gunfights between rival political factions …
The Hamas fighters exchanged fire with security forces loyal to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement.
Both Mr Abbas and PM Ismail Haniya have called for the violence to end.
Mr Haniya stressed the “need for the government and the presidency to work together … to halt these tensions and ensure respect for law and order,” his office said.

Law and order, eh? Damn uptight conservatives.

Red on red. Lovely.
Gone all “Lord of the Flies” in Gaza, have they?

. . . but have been unable to make themselves heard over the noise of their respective AK-47’s.

Nobody listens to you when you run out of ammunition.

Possibly a bit OM, I apologise, Andrea, but this is important:
Has anyone else noticed Achewood is getting a little weird???

You do realize this is going to necessitate a rewrite of the math books used in the camp pales schools, doncha?
Now the word problems will need to be:
Mohmad has 6 hand grenades and throws 5 at a school bus full of Hamas children, how many hand grenades does Mohmad have left?
New slogans too such as:
Irrational hatred and murder, its not just for jews anymore!

“Enough to kill some Jews.” “Very good, Iqbal, full credit.”

Dang Presbyterians are losing control.
O/T, looks like the Amish have taken up jihad.

Always with the Amish, eh, Rebecca? There is no indication in the news flash that the shooter was Amish, just the victims. For all we know the shooter could have been a Quaker. Society of Friends, my ass.

Great, now they’ll try to ban flintlocks.

Gave me a big ol’ belly laugh, that did.

This must be exasperating for the Palo-logical lefties. All that wastage of life and ammunition that should be put to use killing Jews.

That united government thing sure is going to work out well for them, I reckon.

#9, you’re right, the shooter wasn’t Amish. Just another nutjob with a grudge against girls.
And yeah, those Quakers are a sneaky bunch.

Which side, Hamas or Fatah, will CNN, Reuters,AP, New York Times, Washington Post take? Answer: It’s Israel’ fault.

Sorry, it”s Bush”s fault.

Great pic in the LA Times this morning of a brave Hamas warrior “attacking” a PA office… with an empty pistol, slide locked right back.
How long do you have to do “professional journalism” in a war zone before you recognize an unloaded weapon?

They’re not doing any “professional journalism in a war zone”, they’re reprinting clumsy Hamas propaganda supplied by Palestinian stringers.
