Palestinian Non-Civil War Watch: Lots Of Shooting

Yes, yes very suggestive:

Hamas will not participate in early elections, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas said Sunday, in a harsh verbal attack on President Mahmoud Abbas… Meanwhile, in the latest fatality resulting from ongoing violence between Hamas and Fatah supporters, a 19-year-old Palestinian woman died Sunday afternoon after she was shot in the chest, medical officials said… Hamas gunmen, angry over an apparent assassination attempt against a top Hamas official, attacked Abbas’ residence in Gaza City, witnesses said. Abbas was in the West Bank at the time of the shooting. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

It’ll blow over in a couple of weeks. Seriously: they just don’t have the energy to keep it up. If they had that kind of energy, they’d have a state by now. Although if anybody on the right wants to declare this a civil war and draw the obvious conclusion – that Sharon was right when he said that giving the Palestinians Gaza would demonstrate that they can’t run a state – your politely written admission of error can be mailed to the address on the sidebar.
