Bingo! What lovely news! Abbas (or maybe Dahlan) doesn't want a civil war with the fundos, but if they're not brought to heel they lose everything. So he's/they're doing the death squad thing, possibly under Egyptian tutelage, maybe even with Egyptian help, and probably with IDF intel. Dahlan's close to the Egyptians and the IDF has a vested interest in seeing Gaza cleaned out â and it'd be even more fun to see it cleaned out without dismembered Zionist bodies cluttering the landscape. If Abbas and Dahlan make a dent they'll get pretty much what they ask for from the U.S. and Israel. If not, why, nothing happened, did it? Must be time for more talks, more negotiations. The fly in the ointment is Yasser, sitting in the ruins and plotting Dire Revenge⢠for his own irrelevance, passing on any intel he gets to the al-Aqsa thugs, knowing they'll share it with the fundos. "Byzantine" seems an inadequate term to describe this game...
Either that, or Hamas is even more paranoid than usual, which isn't impossible, just difficult. |
