two questions.
1) Who is this homogenous group "us"?
I'd say people so insecure of themselves that they easily scar.
2) Have you been watching the news in the last week? Fatah against Hamas? aren't these two radical islamic groups? Where is "us" in that fight? The war is as much internally in Islam as with "us" and "them".
head in shame, proofing my own ignorance... again.
The fight between Hamas and Fatah is interesting. As already stated, Fatah is a secular organization that never promoted itself on religious principles. Hamas has. It is an organization supported by Iran as is Hezbollah. Both are acting as armies for Iran's interest in the region. "Us" in this fight is with the secular Fatah.
False. When their popularity faltered as Israel shitted on them during the death of the peace process, some of them tried to promote themselves by forming the Al Aksa Martyr Brigades. *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
