Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Hamas bans 'public display' of weapons and appeals for calm
2006-04-02
"C'mon guys, knock it off. At least for a day or two. The cash cows infidels are paying attention!"
TWO days after formally taking power in the Palestinian Authority, the Hamas government held an emergency meeting last night in the wake of factional violence that left four dead, and made a pledge to end public displays of weapons in the chaotic Gaza Strip. The meeting followed a day of unrest sparked by the death of Abu Yousef Abu Quka, a Palestinian militant with ties to Hamas, in a car bombing. His followers blamed security forces linked to the rival Fatah movement. Information minister Yousef Rizka said the government decided to form a committee to look into the killing. He also said the government pledged "to remove all armed men from the street".
Heh. Now we see if Fatah complains their human rights are being violated...
Gaza has been ravaged by a wave of lawlessness in recent months, with gunmen roaming the streets with apparent impunity. Many of the gunmen have links to Fatah.

#2  I seem to recall that the German Government of Adolf Hitler was "Democraticly Elected" too.

And took years of hell to "Unelect" them.

#1  I'm sick to death of Hamas screaming that the international community must accept a terrorist government because it was "democratically elected" and that all current interal strife is the fault of the jooooos and the various-sized satans.

Palestinians freely choose terrorism as their path and will be treated as terrorists - self-identified and proud of it..

Three easy things to become a recognized goverment:
renounce violence
recognize Israel
keep to your agreements.

It's nothing more than is demanded of any other democractic nation.

2 out of 3 of those are just basic requirements for civility.

These sick pyschos can't see straight with all that blood and spittle in their eyes.
