Civil War in Palestine

An astonishing report apparently from the Jerusalem Post, although I suspect it might be copy from "The Onion" accidently posted to the Jpost website. Fatah gunmen and Palestininan police swapped bullets for most of yesterday.

One of the gangs stormed the electricity generation facility north of Nusairat refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip. The gunmen stormed the facility under heavy gunfire in an effort to pressure the PA to hire them as police officers.

Yes you got that - they were trying to demonstrate their prowess to secure future employment. And its not the first time:

The electricity plant has come under several attacks by armed Fatah militiamen over the past few months. The last attack was last week, when a number of gunmen raided the facility, requesting jobs.

Finally:

The attackers announced that the hospital would remain closed until the PA agrees to hire five of their relatives.

I guess this is the Islamic fundamentalist version of a job interview...
