GAZA CITY — If Hamas faces any real competition, it comes not from relative moderates such as the rival Fatah party, but from those who are more ardently Islamist than Hamas itself and are pushing for a broader Al Qaeda-like holy war. These more extreme challengers, though limited in number, think that Hamas is not moving fast enough to impose an Islamic code of life in Gaza.
Bruce Riedel, a former Middle East analyst for the CIA who is with The Brookings Institution in Washington, said he has no doubt that “Hamas now faces a much bigger threat from the extreme jihadists sympathetic to Al Qaeda’’ than from Fatah, which controls the West Bank.
Al Qaeda sympathizers appeal to Hamas’s core constituency of militants who want to fight Israel, not live in a cease-fire and under blockade, Riedel said.
So THOSE are the OPTIONS, huh?
Looks like a WIN-WIN for the ISRAELIS and a LOSE-LOSE for the GAZANS!
“They are frustrated that Hamas won’t allow [rocket] attacks or attempts to kidnap more Israelis,’’ he said. “Hamas has the upper hand for now because it has more force and is ruthless in using it — but the long trend is worrisome.’’
Especially if Hamas is deposed!!!
Hamas, which the United States considers a terrorist organization, carried out scores of suicide bombings and other deadly attacks on Israeli civilians in the past two decades.
And HOW MANY THOUSANDS of PALESTINIANS has the lying, land-stealing, mass-murdering, genocidal NaZionists killed, MSM?

Oh, right, sorry, forgot.
Since the three-week war ended in January 2009, there has been a lull in rocket fire, leading some to suspect that Hamas is rebuilding its arsenal.
What arsenal?
The AmeriKan F-16 fighter jets, tanks, WMD, and the like that Israel possesses?
Because they SURE as HELL are NOT being allowed to rebuild the country!

--MORE--"How many more lies can they tell in service to Israel, huh??
--more--"
First they create Hamas so they don't have to talk to the PLO and Arafat, then they spin off Fatah so they don't have to talk to Hamas, and now they are spinning off "Al-CIA-Duh" groups because Fatah has failed?
No one is falling for it anymore, Israel.
