In Memory of Abu Ammar

Yesterday marked the third anniversary of Arafat's death in Paris , and a huge rally was held in Ramallah. Apparently, tens of thousands of people went, tehre were even buses organized from Nablus and An-Najah to take students to the Fatah founder's, and probablyPalestine's best shot at unified peace, memorial.

However, today, at a similar memorial in Hamas-controlled Gaza, gunshots and confiscated hats, banners, and posters were teh central points of the rally. Hamas followers fired gunshots into the thousands of people gathered to commemorate Araft's memroy and his intentions to bring together 'One Homeland', because they had come under fire from Fatah, they said.

More than a dozen people are known to be wounded, and guess what? it's only 14:30.
