Gunmen in the streets, snipers on the rooftops, shooting all the time: Palestinians fight Palestinians in Jenin. Rare clash between Palestinian Authority security forces and the armed Jenin Brigades in the West Bank city as observed by the Washington Post; The PA hints at a similar model in Gaza.

Jenin Brigades fighters race through alleys flooded with sewage to evade the gunfire that echoes all around. "Quickly," one of the fighters urges his comrades as they pass through patrols and barricades of the Palestinian Authority security forces. "Watch out," another cautions at an intersection where an improvised explosive device had been planted. This could have been a response to the IDF raid on the city and the refugee camp in the northern West Bank, but instead it is a report after two Washington Post reporters witnessed up close a rare battle of the Jenin fighters against their internal enemy: the Palestinian Authority.

--- ...Palestinians fight Palestinians...."

They did this when the PLO was in Tunisia, so long ago. This is not unusual, but rather the usual situation.

A force of “peace”....

[Freeleesy]

And in the 1930s... they killed about 7,000 of fellow Arabs...(1936/9)

[null and void]

Green on green violence, can we hope?...

[BipolarBob]

Such violence brings to mind the adage of “Kill them all and let Allah sort them out”.

This is why the Palestinians are not wanted anywhere in the Middle East. Israel is the only place where they wouldn’t be exterminated.

It’s always fun when they eat their own.

Over time, the picture is complex, as the media try to make things seem simple.

Fatah-Hamas Conflict Wiki

Across the history of the Middle East there are so many examples.

[Texas Eagle]

Sounds like a self-correcting problem.

[caww]

Palestinians fight Palestinians......

[gundog]

Sounds like a self-correcting problem.

You’d think Chicongo would be, too. The feedback loop never really zeroes out, though. And someone always figures out how to exploit the situation so perpetuation results.

[vpintheak]

I’m sure they’ll blame Israel, somehow.

It’s the middle east war it always has been and always will be until they stop teaching children to murder for their ideas.
