I've Been Thinking:
Palestinian Islamic Jihad has come out strong making statements about
their prowess and capabilities especially their ability to fire rockets
that can hit places north of Israel.
Why - and why now?
Islamic Jihad is making a play for power on the streets of Gaza.
Their goal is to wrestle power from Hamas which currently controls Gaza.
Islamic Jihad is a relatively small group in Gaza - significantly
smaller than Hamas. In order for Islamic Jihad to get more supporters,
Islamic Jihad must show that Hamas is no different from Abbas and his
Fatah party and the Palestinian Authority.
Islamic Jihad must show Palestinians that the true protectors of
Gaza's Palestinians is Palestinian
Islamic Jihad. And that's why we
have started to see rallies and protests and hear public statements
filled with bravado, telling people on the streets of Gaza how powerful
Palestinian Islamic Jihad is.
