looks like any other night in gaza.
Woo-Hoo! Terrorist fighting Terrorist!
Why do Islamists love to burn cars and tires so much? This is a curious past-time. Hamas needs to call France for some pointers on how to deal with it (rolling eyes)...lol
Now, for general edification, could you please explain the difference between a riot and a demonstration in the present context?
These is a slight chance this could work out and they kill each other off.
What happened? Did someone win a basketball championship?
Nah - those are palestinian wedding pictures!
These people are insane.
I'm so happy we're bringing democracy to the Mideast. What a great idea!
"Fatah supporters burned cars inside the Palestinian parliament"
That's a pretty extreme protest.
Looks like Detroit after a Pistons championship.

These people have been fighting each other for 5000 years. And we think we're going to step in one day and make em act like civilized human beings.
It's easier just to bomb them.
NATURAL SELECTION
If it wasn't for the Mediterranean foliage I'd have sworn that was Paris . . .
And I think it's about time we start thinning out the herd.
Demonstrations they aren't burning things. There are some picts of large Hamas gatherings I call demonstrations.
The last picture is a close up of one.
Relatively speaking, this is the best d@mn diplomacy shown by the Palestinians in the last 50 years.
