Palestinians Killing Palestinians
Odd, when Israeli soldiers fire rubber bullets at stone-wielding thugs, they're condemned. Where's the outrage from the West over this? Where are the world leaders condemning the Palestinian government?

Hamas Fires on Peace-Loving, Stone-Throwing Palestinians [Jonah Goldberg]
That is, according to this report from the BBC. A note from a reader:
Jonah,
I'm sending this to you because I'm sure you find a way to express the feeling I'm experiencing after reading a BBC article today about the violence that erupted at a Fatah-led commemoration in Gaza of Arafat's death, which shockingly descended into Hamas vs. Fatah violence. The Hamas "police" apparently fired into the crowd of Fatah supporters, as the article describes:
"Hamas security officials said they fired toward protesters who threw stones at security compounds.
Witnesses said the first shots were fired after crowds started accusing Hamas security forces of being a proxy for Shia Muslim-ruled Iran, chanting the word "Shia" repeatedly.
One man, calling himself Abu Samir, told the AP news agency that he believed that Hamas' security forces had definitely fired first.
"I saw brutality. I saw gunmen shoot at people. I saw them catch a boy and beat him with a stick," he added."
I am sorry, but all through the 1980's and 1990's, I was told over and over by such moral authorities as . . . wait for it . . . the BBC(!) that there is no justification to fire guns - even with rubber bullets - at crowds of Palestinians who are merely throwing stones. Israel's oppression, its brutality, its inhumanity, its loss of morality, all of this was proven whenever its troops fired a round at those stone-throwing oppressed Palestinians.
Well, now it's Hamas doing the shooting, with live rounds, and the beating, at other Palestinians who apparently had it coming because, according to the Hamas shooters themselves, they were throwing rocks. Do you think the BBC will start running documentaries and specials about Hamas shooting into a crowd of stone throwers? Or will we hear some explanation how the Israel occupation caused Hamas to turn on their unarmed Palestinian brothers?
I hope those bastards at the BBC, even if it's only for one second, realize what hypocrites they are. I hope they know, somewhere deep down, even if they never admit it aloud, that they are morally bankrupt. I hope they know they can keep on picking on the Jews, they can continue to turn a blind eye to Arab brutality, but the Jews will keep on keeping on and no amount of high-minded BBC propaganda will change the fact that the BBC has spent decades championing a group of murderous, barbaric brutes. I hope they feel good about that.
Those bastards make me so angry.
