Palestinian Non-Civil War Watch – Nuances Of Truce Lost On Bearded Guys Getting Murdered (Plus: There’s Always Time To Bomb Israeli Schools And Hospitals)

The Palestinians have stopped fighting long enough to inform each other that they’re not going to stop firing at Israeli schools and hospitals:

Abbas, Haniyeh meet in attempt to reach truce. Palestinian president, prime minister fail to reach agreement on ceasefire with Israel. Members of military wings tell Ynet rocket fire will continue in spite of Abbas’ efforts to halt it

Then again, it’s not like they’ve really got a truce truce going. It’s kind of a truce, except for how Fatah members are killing Hamas members over their beards. So it’s not quite a ceasefire. But it’s close enough to breathlessly announce as progress and unity to the world. Our current favorite breathless The Truce Is Back On headline is something Ha’aretz had up for like 30 seconds before they thought better of it and changed it to Hamas, Fatah officials: Internal fighting in Gaza is far from over:

12 Hours Is Super Good Guys! Keep It Up!

Baby steps.
