Palestinian Peacekeeping
Apparently, the Palestinians are as good at holding a cease fire among themselves as they are with the the Israelis. The Reuters story goes out of its way to firmly establish that the fighting, which killed four and wounded 18, was just a 'domestic dispute.' OK, I'll buy it. Money quote:
Palestinians hope the coalition deal, which ended weeks of fighting between Hamas and Fatah in which more than 90 people died, can avert a Palestinian civil war.
We all hope that. But Gaza, from which the Israelis forcibly evicted all Jewish settlers and withdrew just recently, should be Palestinian Heaven, but instead it is Palestinian Hell with crime, such as the recent regrettable domestic violence above, rampant.
