These people are clowns. Clowns who viciously lash out in genocidal violence after having been turned into pathetic failures by decades of unblinking international apologism - but nonetheless still clowns:

A top Fatah official who was kidnapped on Monday has been released after his abductors shaved off his mustache. Fatah officials held Hamas responsible, saying the act was designed to humiliate Ibrahim Abu al-Naja, who is one of the most senior leaders of Fatah in the Gaza Strip. Hamas, however, said Abu al-Naja's kidnappers were former Fatah security officers who were angry because the Palestinian Authority had not paid them their salaries... A top Fatah leader in Ramallah expressed outrage over the abduction of Abu al-Naja, denying Hamas's claim that disgruntled Fatah officers were responsible. "As usual, Hamas is lying about its serious crimes," he told The Jerusalem Post. "Hamas's gangs are targeting all Fatah members in the Gaza Strip, including the leaders."... Over the past 48 hours, Hamas's security forces in the Gaza Strip have launched a massive crackdown on Fatah, arresting dozens of members.

Nice to see that Fatah is putting those billions of dollars of security assistance and decades of training to good use. Maybe if they'd take a break from shooting up Israeli civilians on a regular basis, they might be able to focus on reasserting their authority. Though we can see how that might be tough, since Fatah leaders have declared that they're going to unite with Hamas to, well, shoot up Israeli civilians.
