Fatah supporters turn violent
These are the “moderates:”
A mob of up to 2,000 furious Fatah supporters took to the streets Friday, burning cars, firing guns and demanding the resignation of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas after the militant group Hamas trounced their party in parliamentary elections.
Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, was in the West Bank, where he called on Hamas to form a new government after its election landslide snatched power this week from Fatah’s ruling old guard.
Waving yellow Fatah flags in the flickering light of flaming bonfires, protesters swarmed around Abbas’ home in Gaza City, where they shot in the air and accused him of being a “collaborator” with Israel.
CNN has the video.
