Now that the Israel/Hamas cease-fire is on, what is Hamas doing? Going around shooting people.

Evidence is emerging of a wave of reprisal attacks and killings inside Gaza that have left dozens dead and more wounded in the wake of Israel's war.
Among the dead are Palestinians suspected of collaborating with the Israeli military. Others include criminals who were among the 600 prisoners to escape from Gaza City's main jail when it was bombed as the war began. Their attackers are thought to be their victims' relatives.

It's mob rule. It's also called, kill the moderates until only the extremists are left, a cult of blood and death, and the innocent people who are terrified by them.
Quote:
One woman from near Zeitoun, south of Gaza City, described how masked men with ID cards showing they were members of the Izzedin al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas armed wing, shot her brother in the legs. The family had fled the house but returned on 18 January, the first day of the Israeli ceasefire. At 8pm several gunmen appeared at the gate asking for her brother, a 36-year-old Fatah military intelligence officer who had not been working since Hamas seized control of Gaza in June 2007. The men searched the house for weapons, but found none and later left.
Early the next morning they returned. "They started firing in the air," said the 23-year-old sister, who declined to give her name for fear of further attacks.
"They asked him to put his hands up.They fired one shot into his left knee. He fell to the floor and started screaming and saying: 'I didn't do anything.'"
He was then shot in the right leg and again in the left. "They were holding us back and we were watching him bleeding," she said. The victim is now in a Cairo hospital after two operations on his legs.
She said several of his Fatah colleagues had been targeted: "It's a kind of revenge on Fatah. They thought they were responsible for what was going on in Gaza."
Separately, Hamas is believed to have stopped Palestinians reaching an Israeli field hospital on Israel's side of the border at Erez. "We don't care about it," said Hassan Khalaf, Hamas's deputy health minister.

The world demanded the end of Israel's occupation of Gaza. The world now has what it wanted. I'm not sure why the world doesn't think this blood is on their hands. It remains, as the Guardian says, "Israel's war". Hamas terrorism will not move Jimmy Carter, who believes that negotiation with Hamas is critical to the plan:

Quote:
The former US leader said there was "no way to have a permanent peace in the Middle East without the inclusion of Hamas".
"Hamas has got to be involved before peace can be concluded."
Carter said reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah, the faction led by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, had been "objected to and obstructed by the US and Israel".

You got that? The US and Israel are responsible. Not Hamas shooting Fatah supporters in the kneecaps. Israel was responsible when it occupied, and now Israel is responsible when it has left.
And thus, unabated by any criticism, supported by all countries everywhere, violence the source of all Hamas' power... the shooting will continue.
