Hamas, Fatah battle over election results

GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas and Fatah gunmen exchanged fire on Friday in political turmoil as the long-dominant Palestinian faction was threatened with a violent backlash to its crushing election defeat by the Islamic militant group.

Hamas, whose shock parliamentary election victory changed the face of Palestinian politics and put Middle East peacemaking deeper in limbo, said it would hold talks soon with President Mahmoud Abbas on "political partnership".

But Fatah leaders have rejected a coalition with Hamas and thousands of Fatah supporters, including gunmen firing into the air, marched in the Gaza Strip in protest at the idea. Thousands of Hamas backers celebrated their victory in separate rallies.

Well looking on the brighter side of things, if the Palestinians are busy killing each other off maybe they'll be a little less agressive against Israel. I guess every cloud does have a silver lining!:D

Hey this is a good thing, instead of us having to take out the terrorist, they may kill themselves off
