Conflict within Palestinians
By Micah Halpern

Saturday August 1, 2009

I've Been Thinking:

Nearly 2000 delegates from all over the world are descending on Bethlehem for a conference.
It is the first Fatah conference to be held in 20 years and it will convene on Tuesday.
It is very likely that the future leadership of Fatah and the future of the Palestinian political movement will be determined by the participants at this conference.

Israel has granted visas for almost all the Fatah delegates from Gaza to attend. Hamas, however, will not let these Fatah members leave Gaza.
There is an inner conflict going on between Palestinian factions and Hamas wants to sabotage the Fatah convention.
Many of the 500 Gaza delegates are smuggling themselves out, some dress as women others are dressed to look like religious clergy.

The Gaza border has several check points.
The first checkpoint is Hamas controlled.
100 yards further is controlled by Fatah, they radio the Israelis giving advance details of the people crossing into Israel.
The next 100 yards is called "no man's land" and then comes the Israeli crossing.

Hamas is imprisoning Fatah Palestinians. They will let no one out until 900 of their prisoners are released from Fatah jails.
We hear about how Israel is turning Gaza into a virtual prison and about all the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Here we have another perfect example of the inner Palestinian conflict.

Inner conflict is the norm for Palestinians.
