Stoned In Gaza

There’s absolutely nobody to root for, as Hamas puts down a threat to their control of Gaza by invading a mosque and slaughtering more than 20 people.


GAZA (Reuters) – Palestinian Islamists Hamas struck back at an al-Qaeda challenge to their grip on the Gaza Strip by storming a mosque in overnight battles that left the leader of the “Warriors of God” splinter group among up to 28 dead.

After fighting ended early on Saturday the town of Rafah was sealed off to media, but Hamas said the physician and preacher who led the group and who had declared an al Qaeda-style Islamic “emirate” from a local mosque on Friday was dead — blown up by his own hand along with a Syrian ally after killing a mediator.


In this screwed up surrealistic conflict, Hamas is actually the “moderate” side. The “Warriors of God” dressed like the Taliban and wanted to impose strict Stone Age conditions on Gaza.

But of course, it's really the Israelis that cause all these problems with their oh so awful oppression.

Bullsh*t.
