Just kidding obviously. We anticipate something less than global outrage, even though the firefight has overtones of Fatah vs. Hamas clashes (in the Gaza Strip - the hell you say!)

Four people were killed in clashes between Hamas security and a clan affiliated with the rival Fatah party late Wednesday, a Hamas official said. Two Hamas security men and two members of the clan were killed in the fighting that left over twenty people wounded on both sides, Ihab al-Ghusain a spokesman for the Hamas security forces said. Hamas security forces closed off the neighborhood of al-Shojaiyah east of Gaza City to arrest wanted members of the Heles clan, a large Gaza clan, affiliated with Fatah... Armed clashes often break out along factional and family lines across the chaotic Gaza Strip.

What these people really need is a state. Anyway, there's genuinely nothing to see here. The Palestinians will never go to a full-blown, extended civil war. If they had that kind of energy, they'd have a state by now.
