#1 But where is AI? What about the rights of the Fatah POWs? I hope the un investigates and sends them a very harshly worded letter.

#3 Hamas shooting captured Fatah thugs in the streets

It's a feature, not a bug.

#4 Now, just to be fair, can we have some Fatah goons shoot some captured Hamas thugs in the street?

#5 "He spoke on condition of anonymity because the situation was fluid."

Would that be blood or urine?

#7 "We haven't had electricity for two days, and all we can hear is shooting and powerful, earthshaking explosions. The world is watching us dying and doing nothing to help. God help us, we feel like we are in a real-life horror movie."

The only problem with this situation is our own traitors are leading us down the same path to the men with the beards and the swords.

#8 It would be nice to have some video footage of Hamas folk executing their Fatah rivals. I wonder what will happen to the Egyptians who are advising the Fatah forces. Watching the Egyptian public reactions to video of those executions would be an interesting experience.

It may be that some of the less PR savvy Hamas types will post these videos on their website.

Incidentally, based on what is currently happening, the death toll from gunfights, executions, explosions, etc. will likely be drastically undercounted.

#9 mhw - we should get the boys at the Lancet to start making those numbers up right now. Don't need amateur ~~propagandists~~ sleuths to do the leg work.

#10 Procopios

well since Lancet uses, among other things, self reporting by self selected sample, they might actually report that half the fatalities were inflicted by the IDF and the other half by the US.

Yo, Gazans. You want it, you got it. Enjoy it. Hope you're enjoying your preview of the new era...

#12 "Now, just to be fair, can we have some Fatah goons shoot some captured Hamas thugs in the street"

No, cause Hamas won and Fatah lost. Civil wars sometimes have winners, as Ive warned here numerous times.

Now one can only hope that A. Hamas misrule will lead to a loss of prestige and B. That Fatah will clamp down on Hamas in the West Bank.

#15 If Olmert had a brain (and balls), he could;
1. Release all Hamas prisoners of Israel to Fatah for execution.
2. Release all Fatah prisoners of Israel to Gaza to fight to the death.
3. Attack Hamas HQ and kill all of their leaders.
4. Remove Gaza from the map.
5. Get ready to prepare Gaza for planting wheat.

#21 yeah, its about time they did that. But I doubt they'll be shooting most of them in the street.

#22 Damn, I can't keep up with the popcorn demand!

#23 Damn, I can't keep up with the popcorn demand!

It's all right, Barbara, dear.

[sets down trays of canapes and ice buckets with magnums of Champagne]

IT'S PARTY TIME!!!

witnesses said the victors dragged vanquished gunmen from the building and killed them in the street

"And there's hamburger all over the highway in the Gaza strip!"

The world is watching us dying and doing nothing to help.

Noticed that, did you Moean? You honestly didn't think that there would never be an accounting for all those airliner hijackings, the Munich Olympics and the Achille Lauro, now did you?

arming Fatah would be "insane" because the weapons would fall into Hamas hands

Looks like nobody's putting any money on Fatah. I wonder how closely world media is going to cover Hamas' ensuing "reign of terror". You can bet there's going to be non-stop executions for the next several days as Hamas takes revenge on all of the Fatah supporting clans. After watching those videos showing four year-old Palestinian kids screaming "death to the Jews" and clamoring to become bomb vest murderers, I don't even give a rip about all the children that will die.

This is the Palestinians' finest hour. These morons elected Hamas knowing full well they were empowering a terrorist organization. Let them savor yet another pyrrhic victory wrought by their own hand. Never has there been a people so singularly talented at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. They certainly chose one hell of an opportunity to fail to miss.

#27 Never mind about the popcorn, Barbara... how about some delicately thin-shaved slivers of schadenfreude, on melba toast with some truffles and finely chopped hardboiled egg?

I am rather enjoying this, actually. Does this make me a bad person?

Just desserts, just hors d'ourvres, just main course, soup and salad course, etc, just heaping plate of crow for the Palestinians. Chow down, you idiots. Enjoy. I know that I am!

#30 Between Zenster and Sgt. Mom catering, I plan on going to bed tonight stuffed to the gills and extremely happy from tongue to tummy. Let me run and get the Czech crystal from behind the bar for the champagne, Zenster. Would you prefer the flutes or the ones I usually use to serve chocolate mousse in?

#31 How long till Gaza(hamas) and the West Bank(Fatah) start trying to shoot rockets at eachother over Isreal? Or even attempting suicide bombings on eachother, seeing how the other side are infidels working against the good of the "paleostinian" people? Better yet, when are they going to start fighting over Arafats gravesite? We should insert mis-information that it's been declared a holy site.
