I've Been Thinking:

It's all about power.
The chasms are growing deeper and deeper between Hamas and Fatah and between all the various Palestinian factions battling each other for control.

On Thursday afternoon a Fatah delegation sent by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was supposed to meet Ismail Hanyieh, Hamas leader of Gaza.
The delegation never showed up.
Hanyieh waited for an hour and then left to continue his day.
Hamas was livid.
Fatah was copying a page out of the Arafat Book of Leadership.
Arafat would miss meetings, he would be hours late to meetings, he made people wait for hours.

"We deplore the irresponsible act by the Fatah leaders and the envoys of President Abbas," a Hamas statement read.
But the message was delivered.
Fatah was saying to Hamas you are not worthy of even a cell phone call to say we are late - you are irrelevant.

This is just the beginning.
The gloves have come off.
Everyone is out to win.
