Fatah warriors defect to Hamas in public display
More than 1,000 Fatah dissidents loyal to Khaled Mussa Abu Hilal, marched through Gaza City declaring their allegiance to a rival Hamas security force today.
"We are with the Hamas government standing against corruption," the demonstrators shouted.
Marching in formation, stamping feet and swinging arms, the militants fired into the air and shouted religious slogans.
"What's your goal?" shouted a leader. "Allah," responded the marching soldiers. "What's your path?" "Jihad," a thousand voices responded in unison.
Khaled Mussa Abu Hilal is an ex-Fatah official who went to work for the Hamas government shortly after the Islamists won elections in January upon which the The Fatah Central Committee promptly expelled him.
Leaving Abbas increasingly exposed as Bush encourages Olmert to talk to him about Israel stealing yet more more Palestinian lands.
