On the other hand, six Israelis were wounded by Qassam rockets fired by the Islamic group on the IDF. Since hostilities started last week, over 70 Palestinians have been killed, 23 of them on January 15-16 alone.

Seems as though the USA has been sending millions of dollars
to Mahmoud Abbas for his security forces - starting even
BEFORE Hamas won the election. Starting yet another civil
war in the Middle East? These are good links - especially
the Guardian piece on the "coup" by Hamas in Gaza - the
things you'll never hear from our news!
