I Put my Fist to The East Where My People Seek Peace....

Yep, the title is quoting Palestinian rapper Ragtop. I decided to write on my blog when I read an article on the BBC website dealing with the continuous, never ending, clashes between HAMAS and Fatah. King Abdullah has invited the two factions to talk about ending the clashes. I believe this is somewhat unprecedented since the Israeli government doesn't want to see this end, which is similar to the United States not stopping the Shia-Sunni civil war in Iraq. Later in the article, the BBC reporter talks about how third, fourth, political organizations got involved in the recent months with abducting Fatah staff in retaliation to a senior HAMAS member being abducted in the city of Nablus. In my preceptive, I don't think this will stop until the United States intervenes for the sake of Palestinians or until the U.N. overrides the veteos imposed by the United States. As Ragtop says towards the end of the song "Free the P", "....death count goin' up/signs of U.S. interventions just ain't showin up..."
