No peace for the wicked, no rest for the weary

And just to show that the world hasn’t changed all that much from yesterday Hamas is alleging that Fatah is a part of the Zionist conspiracy. Ynet News reports:
A day after Fatah leaders spoke out against Hamas , Hamas are now warning of a "revolutionist sect within Fatah" which is trying to lead the Palestinians into civil war. The past 24 hours in Gaza and the West Bank have been relatively quiet though tensions are still running extremely high; especially if judged by statements made by both sides.

Hamas spokesman Dr. Fouzi Barhoum told reporters at a press conference on Monday that there are those in Fatah who are in league with the Zionist-American conspiracy to stage a coup and overthrow the elected Palestinian government – this as punishment for the fact that the government refuses to recognize the State of Israel.

Barhoum said that there are Israeli and American interests shared by Fatah and that the economic and political siege led by the US, Israel and officials within the PA is designed to defeat the Islamic movement – represented by Hamas which won the Palestinian vote.

Barhoum said that Muhammad Dahlan – the leading Fatah leader in Gaza who once tried to overthrow Yasser Arafat – now seeks to overthrow the current government. Barhoum said that over the course of the past month there were 70 incidents in which Hamas establishments and leaders were attacked, including parliament and the prime minister's office. He said that Hamas will not let the situation come to civil war and addressed Fatah leaders, calling them back to the Palestinian negotiation table. Hamas, said Barhoum, will not allow a group seeking a coup to destroy it, nor will the movement allow the Zionist enemy victory.

I think it’s safe to make at least three deductions from this. The Zionist conspiracy has officially gone worldwide but is boycotting Hamas. And there is simply no rest for the Elders.

What planet is this guy on? This is just so typical of the Islamists... when you have a problem, blame the Jews.

Every notice that the palestinians are never responsible for their own problems and actions?

"...and that the economic and political siege led by the US, Israel and officials within the PA is designed to defeat the Islamic movement – represented by Hamas which won the Palestinian vote."

Well, no shit. I wonder how long it took him to figure this one out? Perhaps, if they were not violent terrorists, other people would see a need to defeat them?
