Hamas Targets Fatah "Collaborators"

One of the marks of a totalitarian regime is their attitude that all moderates are collaborators, and all collaborators are subject to extra-judicial violence and torture:

Fatah officials in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post that Hamas militiamen had been assaulting many Fatah activists since the beginning of the operation last Saturday. They said at least 75 activists were shot in the legs while others had their hands broken. (JPost)

Jerusalem has done its best to deny any suggestion that it intends to topple Hamas, but one worries that freelancing by the likes of Haim Ramon has not helped the situation for Fatah members in Gaza.
