The Palestinian civil war may be about to get a lot less civil. From Tom Gross at our media blog:

The rival Palestinian factions are now engaged in a war of words through their respective media. A Fatah-run TV station has condemned Hamas’ “dark coup” in the Gaza Strip and Hamas’s al-Aqsa TV says the organization “liberated” Gaza from “Fatah occupation.”
The Hamas network added that they have “proof of homosexual relations between Fatah officials.”

The obtuseness of the State Department, the EU et al notwithstanding, Fatah is unsalvageable. But, if Hamas wanted to end this thing very quickly, the director’s cut of that Bulgarian Secret Service video of Yasser Arafat partying would be pretty much all it would take.
