Elder of Ziyon
Dramatic video shows gunfire in the middle of a commercial street as passersby scramble for cover.
This was not Israeli-Palestinian violence. It was not even Hamas-Fatah violence. It was Fatah-Fatah violence, as a Fatah leader in Bethlehem said that the gunmen ignored a decision from Fatah leaders not to march to celebrate Fatah's 58th anniversary.
The Al Aqsa Brigades, meanwhile, accused the Fatah leader of ordering shooting them as well as civilians.
Whatever the truth is, it is clear that Palestinian forces are trigger-happy, and not at all reluctant to fire automatic weapons in the midst of an urban area with shops and pedestrians.
The media is filled with images of Israeli soldiers framed to be violent invaders. Yet this footage of how Palestinians act without reporters anywhere to be found is nowhere to be seen except in social media.
This is what happens between Palestinians when the world isn't watching. And this what a Palestinian state would look like, in the weeks it would exist before collapsing in total chaos.
Only a week ago, we were treated to the usual stories about how Christians are fleeing Palestinian areas supposedly because of Israeli actions. But this is what the cradle of Christianity really looks like when there are no Jews anywhere near.
And this is barely news even in Palestinian media, both because it is fairly routine and because Palestinian media is conditioned not to show things that make their leaders look bad.
The Western world, pretending that a two state agreement is a solution, is absolutely clueless of what kind of state they are advocating.
