NO MONEY + LOTS OF GUNS = VIOLENCE

Palestinians in Gaza are venting their frustrations by attacking one another:
Thousands of young Palestinian men belong to armed militant groups. The militarization of Gazan society makes it more likely that otherwise harmless scuffles will turn deadly.

In a personal conflict, "they end up using the weapons that they have to defend against the occupation against each other," said Abu Thaer, a spokesman for the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade militia.
Even doctors are joining in the tension releasing fun:
In May, a 59-year-old man suffering from heart failure was brought into the Khan Yunis hospital's emergency room. When informed of the man's death, his family "went crazy and trashed the emergency room…. Anyone wearing a white coat was beaten," said Dr. Nasser Azaar, the emergency room director.

Three months later, Azaar remains shocked by the fact that several local doctors related to the man participated in the frenzied destruction.
Sounds to me like a perfectly reasonable reaction.

Sounds like a bunch of children throwing tantrums. It would be hilarious if they weren't armed.
