"Several people have been hurt in Gaza City in clashes between rival groups of students supporting ruling Palestinian party Hamas or their opponents, Fatah."

"The two sides fought around their campuses, throwing stones and homemade explosives and exchanging gunfire."

"At least 15 people were wounded in the fighting in Gaza City, which involved students from two of the city's universities."

Well now. Looks like those Islam Extremist groups are getting to even the students of Palestine. Discuss.

I say we arm both sides with plenty of small-caliber rifles and ammunition. Problem fucking solved.

If it is, since I was the first person to get the story, I say I am the official NS journalist on this issue!

Students causing trouble and disturbances in the streets? Good thing we never have that happening elsewhere in the Western world. Oh, hang on...

Do we have sutdents throwing home-made-bombs and shooting small-caliber weapons at each other?

There's a difference when it's between supporters of two different parties and when it's being done for the dual causes of mediocrity and racism....

Weeell, um . . . yes.
But it was only once, and there were hardly any casualties at all, so I don't think my role in the situation needs to be mentioned to anyone else.

Although it may say Another Girl, Another Planet under my location tag, if it were to state 'Belfast, Northern Ireland' there it would (a) be utterly true, and (b) might give you a better sense of my perspective on these things.

Fatah is not "Islam extremist." Hamas is. That's one of the reasons they're fighting.

And this is a new story how?

Anyways...all the more proof that you can't generalise and talk about "the Palestinians" as a whole.

Unless you want to say 'they are all violent', obviously.
