Hamas and Fatah to Settle Differences

You read that right. A top Palestinian believes Hamas and Fatah are going to finally settle their differences. How? They are going to do it the old fashioned way. Civil war.

Head of Palestinian intelligence Brig.-Gen. Tawfik Tirawi told a British newspaper that a violent conflict between Hamas and Fatah was imminent.

"We are already at the beginning of a civil war, no doubt about it. They (Hamas) are accumulating weapons and a full-scale civil war can break out at any moment," Tirawi told the Sunday Times.
So all that weapons smuggling may not be directed at Israel after all. Some of it may be used to settle local issues.

Here is a link to the original Sunday Times article.

The Times article goes on:
Tirawi believes Hamas will never accept the existence of Israel and said a violent showdown was inevitable. “No way can they agree. They are preparing for a war against us,” he said. Last week 12 people were killed as fighting between the two groups escalated.

According to Palestinian sources, Abbas has notified the US, Jordan and Egypt that he is preparing to take action against Hamas. Egypt has already indicated it would support him, the sources claim.
It is true. This report from 30 Sept. '06 gives some details.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas held talks with Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin in Jordan during a meeting of intelligence chiefs from moderate Arab states, the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi reported on Saturday.

The attendants urged Abbas to reject a Hamas demand that it holds the premiership post in any future unity government with rivals Fatah, with Jordan and Egypt delegates arguing that the current Hamas government should be toppled.
Interesting. It looks like the remnants of Fatah are the last Sunni links Saudi Arabia and Egypt have with the Palestinian government. What has to scare them even more is the Sunnis converting to the Shia brand of Islam.

Sunni's ain't gonna convert. Sorry.

It can fool the West, as a title, I suppose? But you don't know what Catholics went through! And, they weren't converting. They went insane. And, fought. So when they lost (in England), they lost their property. And, Henry VIII just redistributed "wealth."

Concentrate on the WEALTH.

In iraq, the Sunnis were WEALTHY. They don't like the new rules.

In iraq, the palestinians, brought in by Saddam, were pushed out. They tried to get into Jordan. NOTHING DOING. You have no idea how many tens of thousands of them are sitting around "homeless." Maybe, that's why they dream they'll get "all of Israel." On the order of "fat chance." But these are delusional lunatics.

Fatah has avenues into the Saudi pockets. They were the first martyrs.

But for anything profitable to run in the Mideast, you IMPORT labor. AND, business men, follow. Most come from India. But lots from Thailand. And, they can live in the pits. But their homes are better. Even in places like Tanzania. They're the "middle-class." Not so the terrorists and their accomplices. Life's been getting worse, all around, for many sects of arabs. (That's just what the "cop" ... running after "one guy" ... just did when the border got crossed.) No pickups were made. No territory was taken. And, what was left was wrecked. And, made a shambles. But the MSM isn't covering it. Because they are not there. And, they're not paying for much. Though they do still buy photos of "car swarms." BIG DEAL.

In America, the tribal warfare between Indians was as bad as the scalping raids that happened to settlers. Other indian groups couldn't deal with it. Oh, boy. On the other hand: OUR ANCESTORS DID!

While "conversions" ... which seem more frequent now ... really shows ya the losses religion is having. Because people just shrug. And, one label is as good as another. But at one time parents could keep their kids from marrying someone the kid truly loved. (Abie's Irish Rose.)

Then, when the broad converted. So the "shiksa" could be married to a Jewish doctor; no dummy she! She married a man who bought her a better house. Didn't beat her. And, didn't get drunk.

While the Catholic mothers and fathers cut the dame out of the family. To this day, a lot got lost. There are families that haven't even been introduced. Just what happens when a society goes on the move. You might suspect (like George Allen does now), that he had a Jewish grandma on one side of his family. But she did nothing in her adult life to give this away.

That's how it goes. And, arabs aren't there, yet. They are way too tribal.

SIck culture. Years from recovery.

While living in the Mideast (except for the Israelis) has always been about "hovel" living. Unless you got rich on oil wealth. Or your family were the despots who ruled.

Arik Sharon TOOK Olmert's disengagement plan. And, put it to good use.

What you don't see is the fears the arabs on the West Bank have, now. Because they just can't mix with the tourists. And, fewer tourists are going to them.

I'm sure when very bright sons are born, many families do their best to get that kid a good education AWAY from the Mideast. (And, I'm not so sure the guys all visit mosques when they travel. Who has the time when you're studying and working hard? And, when you're trying to pass for "American." Heck, I'd bet lots of people lie, just to hope you don't think they're "one of them."

While the Saudi base has bought into the worst terrorism there is; a lot of the threats we're getting are just hot air.

Those rag heads should be worried.

Heck, the donks should be worried.

Just because you're not getting reports, doesn't mean that behind closed doors there's finger pointing. And, the truth.
