Vengeance
The Palestinian Civil War is going to be going on for a while if this is any indication. GAZA, Feb 7 (KUNA) -- Dagmash family, one of the biggest Palestinian families in Gaza, has claimed responsibility for the killing of two activists from the Izziddeen Al-Qassam Brigades, military arm of Hamas, last night.This of course is a reversion to Tribalism. A condition that precludes nation building. Once the revenge killings get well underway there is no way to stop them except the extinction of families. In terms of the larger political scene I see this as the prelude to massive migrations by the Palestinians to any place civilized. Unfortunately they have a tendency to bring their uncivilized ways with them. That sort of behavior has gotten them kicked out of Kuwait when the Iraqis were kicked out in '91. Kicked out of Iraq When Saddam was deposed. In fact they get kicked or kicked out of a lot of places due a lack of civilized ways. Update: 08 Feb '07 1549z Here is a bit more on the Dagmash or Damish clan. The Damish clan, a large family from the southern Gaza town of Khan Younish thought to be involved in organized crime, claimed responsibility for the shooting, saying it was avenging the killing of two of its members two months ago by Hamas security forces.So this could have been strictly business, not politics. Swell. Just swell. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 02.08.07 at 10:54 AM |

Hatfields and McCoys ... swell. Perhaps we should just start dropping boxes of ammo and small arms into 'Palestine' to hurry this up.
