GAZA, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Palestinian gunmen from President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party stormed election offices in Gaza on Tuesday, sparking a gunbattle with police in a flare-up of violence that could disrupt next month's parliamentary ballot.
What troubles ins the way of their reporting it, Reuter's outrageous bias in printing the photo of the killed militant Arab Muslim 'Palestinian' to this context, to try and "explaim" their anger, instead of any image showing the Arab Muslim Hamas attacking or of an archive of them.
Yup...looking for extra innings.
Good. Excremists infighting and hopefully diminishing their own number spares everybody else the trouble in the future. More power to them in doing so.""
I equate this with the cops NOT stopping the mob in New York and New Jersey when they were fighting and it was called the Mattress Wars. They piled matresses in empty apartments across from each other and hoped the matress stuffing would stop the other guys bullets.
Let them decimate their own ranks. Save the cost of trials and prisons.....
For Arafat to be gone and they're having elections at all is a very good thing. We need to support democracy in Palestine, and in Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt.
What is saves is the cost of ammo, not so much as of trials and prisons. And the ammo is not that cheap - missiles fired from helicopters or drones are several thousand each, if not more.

It could be a good thing. Get those groups involved in a real political process. Get them focused on building a real Palestinian state instead of trying to destroy Israel.
They aren't going to give up their 'Death To Israel' marches or close down the suicide bomber factories so they can run outpatient clinics or build roads.

"Spark".
Now that's funny.
It's long overdue.
