As I write this, thousands of pro-Fatah demonstrators are pouring through the streets of Gaza City, collecting at al-Anzar park near Islamic University to commemorate the third anniversary of Yassir Arafat’s death. Already, Hamas thugs have killed one and injured dozens of demonstrators. Because these events are literally occurring just blocks away from my flat, I’ll probably remain at my downtown office until things calm down. This is quite bad. All I can hear is shouting, sirens and heavy gunfire…

UPDATE: Seven have now been killed.
