Civil War Watch

Abbas’ thugs shot at Fateh offices, so they fired back and killed a Hamasshole, and Hamas responds by rocketblasting a nest full of Abbas’ supporters:

Earlier in the day, Hamas gunmen, attending the funeral of a colleague killed in a previous exchange with the rival Fatah party, which is headed by Abbas, opened fire on the offices of the Fatah-dominated security force.

Officers fired back, hitting a gunman from Hamas’ own militia, who died on his way to the hospital.

Palestinian gunmen from the ruling Hamas party fired rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank rockets Monday at the Gaza headquarters of a security force loyal to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, witnesses said.

The rockets blasted holes in the building used by the preventive security service in the southern town of Rafah. At least two people were wounded.

Will this be spliced into that overall “Cycle Of Violence” the AP and Reuters keeps talking about, or is this an entirely separate Cycle being spun up?

    I’m cheering for both sides, too. May whoever is behind at the moment catch up, and overtake the other bunch.

    Reminds me of the Iran/Iraq war.

    As a Richmonder, I can only wonder if in a 150 years they will be:

    holding re-enactments
    labeling all civil war sites as holy shrines and

    refusing to try anything new, on the basis of “that’s the way we did it when Yassir was around…”

    or maybe they’re doing that already…
