Another Peaceful Friday in the Gaza Strip

This is starting to become a weekly occurrence. You've gotta love that compassionate bunch of thugs in Hamas, don'tcha?

Of course, it's not like Fatah's being all that reasonable, either:

More than 10,000 Palestinians defied Hamas on Friday to pray outside in the biggest protest in the Gaza Strip since the radical Islamist movement captured control of the territory two months ago.(AFP/Mahmud Hams)


"Rally?" That's rather quaint, Mahmud, because it looks more like a riot to me.

In all seriousness, why does anyone expect the Palestinians will for a moment act in peace towards Israel? They can't even act peacefully towards each other.
