HAMAS GUNMEN FIRE ON PALI PROTESTORS

I'M SURE THE U.N. WILL RUSH TO CONDEMN THIS. AFTER ALL, WHEN ISRAEL..... AH, FORGET IT.

Hamas Gunmen Fire on Fatah Protest (NYSun)
"Hamas gunmen fired on demonstrators from the rival Fatah movement on Tuesday, wounding four people and intensifying fears of a new wave of Palestinian infighting following the deaths of three children in a drive-by shooting, officials said," the AP reports.

The demonstration was organized to protest the deaths of the children, whose car was riddled with bullets as they were driven to school Monday morning. Fatah officials have accused Hamas of being behind the shooting. The children's father is an intelligence officer who is considered an enemy of Hamas.

Saleh Hammad, a local Fatah leader, said the demonstration was peaceful, though he acknowledged that some children had provoked the Hamas militiamen by throwing rocks at them.

"Even if one or a few children lost their temper and stoned the members of the unit, this is not a reason to be fired at," he said. Islami Shawan, a spokesman for the Hamas security unit in the area, denied his men had fired on protesters.

Hospital officials confirmed four people were wounded. The demonstration quickly dispersed, and there were no further signs of fighting.

Provoked by stones? Firing at children? If this is how they treat their fellow Palestinians, it's not difficult to imagine the ease with which they will happily kill Israelis.
