Escalation in Fatah-Hamas Conflict

Since the failure of the attempts to establish a national unity government in the PA, tension between Fatah and Hamas has been escalating. This tension peaked in recent days when PA Legislative Council member Muhammad Dahlan said that the Fatah forces must be ready to defend themselves and to prevent attacks on their people, threatening harsh retribution should Fatah members be harmed.

Awwww. Imagine the possibilities if Hamas and Fatah were able to get together: the new organization logically could be known as Fat-ass. Meanwhile, we can just hope that both use their stocks of arms and ammunition to kill as many of each other as possible, thus improving the cultural, political, and social state of the world.
