Here's something else I meant to blog before going away but didn't have time to: a report about the enlightened order of liberal-democratic pluralism prevailing in Gaza right now. Hamas arrested some Fatah leaders on Friday for being involved in prayer gatherings as a protest against Hamas rule:
The Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza said in a statement that those arrested were seeking to create "chaos."It seems that partisans of the idea of a single unified democratic state bringing together Israelis and Palestinians may not have thought things through.
