I agree, Israel is being heavy handed here. But my point was this - "Wow, these guys suck at putting up a good front against Israel". Just look at Hezbollah.
Of course, there was no way Israel would allow even a democratic victory for Hamas. But the least Fatah could've done is formed a coalition or something, instead of going into an outright civil war with Hamas.
Well, it's easy to say that Hamas wasn't able to put up a good fight against Israel while Hezbollah could.
The settings are different, the outskirts of Lebanon are different then the Gaza strip, different style of warfare, and one that suited Hezbollah well.
I agree that Fatah could've formed a coalition of some sort, but there's so much frustration and misunderstanding among certain Palestinians, and it's due to the current situation and the way they're outmatched and humiliated by Israel.
Even now you should ask the question, why wasn't Fatah able to form a coalition of some sort?
It's so complicated man, however, a civil war with Hamas is something Israel welcomed with pleasure, because this puts the Palestinians further in a hole where it's hard to come out and prove your right.
The pounding of the Gaza strip will most likely continue untill the U.S. orders their pet Israel, that enough people have suffered and that the pressure from the international community, (who this time will talk again but show no action to prevent something) is too overwhelming and therefor the Israelis must stop their actions against Palestinians.
I hope this happens fast, I pray to god that no more innocent people in Gaza will be hurt by these cowardly attacks.
Imagine how afraid the civilians there must be right now, sitting at home and hearing Israeli F16s pounding the area, knowing their home might be struck aswell.
