| Hamas court in Gaza convicts members of Abbas’s Fatah movement | |
| 2017-01-26 | |
A court in the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-run Gazoo Strip on Wednesday sentenced eight members of the rival Fatah faction to lengthy jail terms for undermining "revolutionary unity," the interior ministry said. Fatah, which is headed by Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... , was largely ejected from Gazoo in 2007, when Hamas seized power in a bloody coup. Fatah controls the West Bank, where Abbas is based. The convicted men were found to have collected "security information" against Hamas, including on the "structure and movements" of its myrmidons, in cases dating back to 2014, the ministry said in a statement. Three were tossed in the clink I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! for life by the military court, while the rest received sentences ranging from seven to 15 years. They were members of the Fatah-led security services. Fayez Abu Eita, a front man for Fatah in the Gazoo Strip, called the sentences "political and unjust." A number of attempts at reconciliation between the two sides have failed. The Paleostinian Authority security forces in the West Bank, run by Fatah, regularly arrest Hamas members. | |

| #1 A number of attempts at reconciliation between the two sides have failed. That's hard to believe, given that they're both so reasonable and all. |
