Sami Jamil Jadallah - Time to Outsource

Sick and Tired of Fatah and Hamas
By Sami Jamil Jadallah

US Congress getting involved with Fatah Constitution

This is unbelievable and really shows how absolutely clueless American politicians are:
A push by right-wing American Jewish activists to change the constitution of the governing Palestinian party is gaining momentum in Congress, even as Israelis are dismissing the document as “irrelevant,” and the umbrella body of American Jewish organizations has voted against taking up the [...]

Demagoguery: Abbas revises election laws to favor his own Fatah party

But this is the kind of demagoguery America likes, and Rice so desperately needs… anything to have the "right" party win… The right party is, of course, made up of weak, corrupt politicians… the easier to handle…

How can Israel & Abbas continue to ignore the only force managing Gaza

Via Haaretz:
…"Britain talked directly with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal and Syria to facilitate Johnston's release, violating the global boycott of the movement…"
"How can Israel and Abbas continue to ignore the only force capable of managing the Gaza Strip?….And no less important: Is there still any point in boycotting Hamas or the Israel Defense Forces' operations [...]

War business: How this works?

(By Latuff)

Ironically, Israel and US gave Fatah arms, then Israel "discover" them in raids and kills Fatah's fighters!
This is how it works:
First: The Bush administration has spent most of its tens (if not hundreds) of million dollars in aid to Palestinians to train an elite corps of Fatah-loyal fighters and supplied them with arms (probably [...]

A Visit to Fatah's Torture Chamber

A building formerly occupied by Fatah's intelligence service in Gaza was long notorious for torture and execution. Now Hamas is in control — and is letting former inmates visit the chamber of horrors. The cells are small, perhaps six feet by six feet, with only an overhead lamp to provide light.

Israel grant Abbas $1 billion only if Fatah kills Hamas

Maan News report that Israel will provide Abbas with up to $1 billion so Fatah can kill Hamas.
This is nothing but the first drop from the "aid flood" from Israel, U.S. and international community. But for what? For Palestinians to kill Palestinians:
Bethlehem - Ma'an – The Israeli authorities have announced that Israel intends to transfer [...]

West chooses Fatah, but Palestinians don't

They prefer Hamas, which represents an alternative to Fatah's acceptance of the Israeli occupation.

By Saree Makdisi
IN THE WEST, there's a huge sense of relief. The Hamas-led government that has been causing everyone so much trouble has been isolated in Gaza, and a new government has been appointed in the West Bank by the "moderate," peace-loving [...]

Hamas Run Gaza; We Can Thank Ourselves

Via Israel Policy Forum:

By MJ Rosenberg
There is, no doubt, a whole lot of celebrating going on today. For those more afraid of negotiations than of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or any of that violent crew, a collapsing Palestinian Authority with Gaza in absolute chaos and with Mahmoud Abbas weakened almost to irrelevancy is a dream [...]

لم يجدوا من يهزمهم، فهزموا أنفسهم

[Images by Ben Heine]

أمر مخجل ما حدث ويحدث في الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة. ليس أن يقتل الأخ أخاه فقط، بل أن يستعين بعض الفلسطينيين بأعدائهم للإنتصار (ولو بالظاهر) على أخوتهم - بمعنى أخر، الأنتصار على أنفسهم، مع أن هذا "الإنتصار" هو ليس اكثر من هزيمة للذات. ففي حين أن الطائرات والدبابات والصواريخ لم تهزمهم، هزمتهم ذاتهم [...]

Gaza Strip - Friday: one day after Hamas seized control there after more than 100 (other reports say over 200) people were killed, many of them execution style (by Fatah and Hamas), and it's not over yet.

Abbas, Hamas, Dahlan, and the PA should go to hell

During the last few weeks over 200 Palestinians were killed, and over 400 were injured, many are in critical conditions. Dozens of Hamas and Fatah members [...]
