Will there be a civil war in Gaza, Judea and Samaria?

Question

Hamas and Fatah terrorists continue to shoot, shell and kidnap each other, making mincemeat out of a declared ceasefire. Four deaths were reported by Tuesday afternoon. IDF sources: no civil war.

At least one unidentified Gaza Arab was killed Tuesday morning, when Palestinian Authority militiamen from the two competing factions waged a gun battle near the Shiba Hospital in Gaza City. Several people found themselves trapped inside a nearby mosque for fear of getting shot in the crossfire.

By later in the day, two more men - members of Fatah - had been killed, shortly after being kidnaped. Their bodies were found in the street. Hamas denied involvement.

The clashes involved the elite forces of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah and the well-trained and well-equipped Hamas terrorist militia. IDF sources said on Monday that several Hamas fighters are being trained in Iran.

The nameless fellow talks about "illegal Israeli occupation." He couldn't be farther from the truth.

The whole "Palestinian People" is made up, just to try to eliminate Israel. The Land of Israel is the biblical home of the Jewish People, and the Jewish People have maintained a presence there continuously.

If you were naive enough to believe what you hear on the news and media, you would think there is an entity called a "Palestinian people," who lived in a "country/state/area" called Palestine since Canaanite/Biblical/Muslim times. You would almost believe that the Israelis occupied "Palestine" in 1967. And you might even think that the Palestinians want the occupiers out of their land. And of course, you might feel, they are entitled to do whatever it takes to get their land back. No? No. Not at all, Here are the facts.

Who are the Palestinians? Palestinians are Arabs. They have no historical, national or cultural identity distinct from other Arabs of the region.

They have no historical, national or cultural identity distinct from other Arabs of the region. Most of them came into Palestine in search of economic opportunities after World War I when the British and the Jews began to build up a land that was moribund.

What is Palestine? When the Romans conquered Judea, they renamed it Palestine. Since then, no occupying power ever made it an independent state or established a capital in Jerusalem. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was part of the province of Syria.

After World War I, the area was mandated to Britain to establish a Jewish national home. Instead, in 1922, Britain split off 75% of Palestine to establish the Emirate of Transjordan, as a throne for the Arabian Hashemite family.

The UN decided to split the remaining 25% of Palestine between Jews and Arabs. In 1948, five Arab armies attacked the newborn State of Israel. Transjordan annexed the area intended for an Arab state, and renamed itself the Kingdom of Jordan.

calling the annexed area the West Bank. Egypt took over Gaza. No Arab suggested making the West Bank and/or Gaza into yet another Arab state until 1967, when Israel was again attacked by the Arabs and took these areas.

Whether or not she chooses to exercise the right, Israel owns the West Bank by right of conquest and by biblical rights. Before 1967, the last previous legal owner was the Ottoman Empire. And Turkey, heir to the Ottomans, has never asked for it back.

Answer 1

The Middle East is one big civil war. Some may say what im saying is a sterotype but these people have been fighting each other since Jesus was walking the earth. So I believe that they are already in civil war, not just in gaza, judea, samaria. its the whole middle east. All they seem to do over there is kill. You never hear about the different factions coming to any kind of peace deal and it actually last for more than a month or so

Answer 2

there has been fighting on and off in the occupied territories for a couple of years. it is probably at its worst now but i don't believe it will ever be all out civil war, largely because the West Bank is still under a repressive illegal Israeli occupation.

i think the more likely outcome is a ceasefire and return to the negotiating tanble with Israel, but i think the Palestinians have been weakened.

Answer 3

To have a civil war, you need to have a nation first.

In Gaza, it's just gang shootouts, clan rivalries.

Answer 4

The russian/Arab sponsored Hamas vs. what stands proud because the american sponsored Fatah! How humorous is that. The lesser of two terrorists. None will win. all of us will develop into infadels and we stands proud because the losers. Hamas has more beneficial resources because the former chief of Fatah, Yassir, stole tens of millions from Fatah. What a large crew.
