Fears that the Palestinians are headed for civil war escalated this week when two judges and the three children of a high ranking intelligence officer were killed in the Gaza strip as part of the power struggle between Fatah and Hamas. This is not the first time the two organizations have been at odds with each other and they have managed to lay their differences aside in the past, but the blood toll and the rhetoric of the past week are both warlike in nature.
All over the Gaza Strip abduction is rampant. Fatah officials run around shooting as they demand to be paid by the Hamas government. The negotiations to establish a national unity government with the Hamas and Fatah have floundered. All this does not bode well for the future of the Palestinian's in Gaza
