Palestinian Civil War
By Micah Halpern

Monday September 22, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

The Palestinian situation is ripe for a civil war.

The rhetoric is ratcheting up higher and higher.
Armed tensions are becoming more and more frequent.
Hamas is becoming more powerful in Gaza and the West Bank
The Palestinian Authority is realizing that the only way to control Hamas is through an armed re-taking of Gaza.

Last summer Hamas threw Fatah out of Gaza.
Fatah wants to do the same to Hamas.
If Fatah actually does attempt to oust Hamas from Gaza it will cost them many lives.
It will be the most significant step Palestinians have taken to date to actually facilitate a state.

But as Israeli statesman Abba Eban frequently said: "The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
