Palestinian chaos watch

It’s no longer a civil war. The Gaza strip is becoming Gazastan.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) – Palestinian policemen angry over the killing of a fellow officer stormed the Gaza-Egypt border crossing Friday, firing in the air and forcing European monitors to flee and close the crossing for several hours, officials said.

About 100 policemen stormed the Rafah compound and took up positions alongside border patrol officers at the customs section of the crossing, Palestinian security officials and witnesses said.

[…] The policemen who stormed the border crossing were friends and family of an officer killed Thursday in a family feud in Gaza, Palestinian security officials said. They said no Palestinian officials would be allowed to leave Gaza until the gunman responsible was executed, according to officials.

The policemen shut the border’s main gate and fired in the air when a car carrying an unidentified Palestinian official tried to enter the compound. The chief Palestinian security officer at the crossing asked the policemen to leave, but they refused.

The border had been closed because according to the Israeli-Palestinian agreement the crossing cannot operate if the European contingent is not present, said De La Guardia.

By the way, in between the ellipses? More news about the PIJ suicide bombing. And once more, the AP names the bomber, but no longer names Lt. Uri Binamo. He is simply “a 21-year-old army officer.”

No media bias. Nope. None.

    Take a good look everybody. Gaza is your preview of a Palestinian Arab state. Terrorists, Mafiosos, tribal feuds, all mixed together in one grand, economically, politically, and culturally disasterous cesspool.
