there were demonstrations by thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank today. The demonstrators wanted Hamas (which took control fo Gaza by force in 2007) and Fatah which controls the West Bank to resolve their differences and form one government. In the grand tradition of Hamas, here is how the Gaza demonstration ended according to the AP:
"Hamas security officers started beating marchers after their demonstration permit expired before sundown, witnesses said. A small Palestinian faction said Hamas security beat dozens with clubs, trying to disperse the crowd."
The Hamas forces also beat up the press corps present for the march.
It just makes me wonder why the Israelis cannot reach a peace agreement with these reasonable people.
