Hamas Defeats Fatah Forces, Occupies Gaza

Just in.

TEL AVIV – Hamas today flaunted what it said were American weapons and armored personnel carriers it seized from the U.S.-backed Fatah security forces of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Hamas' Al Aqsa Television broadcast footage of Hamas gunmen brandishing American assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, rocket launchers and ammunition the U.S. reportedly provided to Fatah the past few months. Hamas fighters also showed what it said were 10 American-provided armored personnel carriers the terror group said it seized from Fatah security compounds it took over yesterday.

Yesterday saw Hamas advance on the vast majority of Fatah security buildings and positions in the northern Gaza Strip, taking almost complete control of the territory and limiting Fatah's travel ability to a few city blocks.

At least 15 Palestinians, including a U.N. relief worker, have been killed today. In several spots in Gaza, thousands of local Palestinians rallied against the violence, but Hamas gunmen reportedly shot live ammunition into the crowds, killing two protestors at two different locations.


There you have it, folks... Hamas has defeated the so-called "Palestinian Authority" so exalted by the international left and the United Nations. And Hamas is killing "Palestinians", deliberately. I thought killing "Palestinians" was supposed to be unforgivable?

What good now is the PA? What good is Mahmoud (Abu Mazen) Abbas?

What now?

Will the mainstream media care? Will the UN care? Will the international left care?

Don't count on it!
