And you know what all that misbegotten violence over there really is?
Just good old-fashioned Family Feuds.
Yep. I read it in the Globe and Mail.
.... The enmity between the Kafarnehs and the Dugmashes is rooted in logic that fans of The Sopranos television show would appreciate. When several Kafarnehs rented rooms in a Gaza City apartment building owned by a member of the Zwayed family, they were promised that a nearby well was reserved only for tenants of their building.A week later, after the landlord was caught drawing water from the well for use by residents of another apartment block, the Kafarnehs -- one of the largest families in Gaza -- marched en masse to the building to protest. Outnumbered, the Zwayeds called on the Dugmashes for help.
Things turned bloody, and three members of the Zwayed family and one Dugmash were killed by Kafarneh bullets that day in May....
Mahmoud el-Masri, whose family controls the east side of Beit Hanoun, said that since Hamas took office and the international community turned off the aid taps, Gaza has gotten more tribal and more dangerous.
