I've Been Thinking:

All eyes should turn to Gaza - Hamas is unhappy with the status quo and is signaling that they are about to make some changes.

A warning and a death threat have been issued by Hamas aimed at the new Palestinian Prime Minister and Fatah leader, Salam Faayad.
The warning reads: "Fayyad's government has given up on the principles of the Palestinian people, recognized everyone (our enemies), and done what the Zionist enemy, and its accomplice, the United States, desired - in exchange for dollars."
More emphatically: "His Government has abandoned the resistance."

Them's fighting words.
The "resistance" is Arabic code for "terror."
Hamas is justifying their death threat.
This argument goes this way: If Faayad and the Fatah are traitors to the Palestinian cause, they deserve to be publicly rebuked and even killed.

Hamas already has Islamist camp supporters, but those numbers are finite. Hamas is arguing this line of thought in order to grab supporters from the nationalist camp.
If Hamas can win over the nationalist camp, they can win another election.
Winning another election is what Hamas really wants right now.
My, how things have changed.
