Here is how AP described what happened today in Gaza. Hamas security forces armed with
rifles and clubs beat Fatah supporters trying to hold street prayers to protest the Islamic group's rule in Gaza, witnesses said. Hamas men also assaulted at least seven Palestinian journalists and detained five. An explosive device thrown into the middle of one protest rally in southern Gaza injured four people. It seems that this kind of activity, in the power struggle, in Gaza is considered a threat. Hamas see the demonstrations a clear attempt to challenge their authority. In turn, clubs and guns are drawn by the "Executive Force" and people are beaten and taken away. If Fatah is to try and change things a non-violent attitude could help. Mahatma Ghandi said once that "nonviolence is a weapon of the strong". Fatah does not have brute force any more in Gaza and Hamas when elected over a year ago came to power not because of their Islamic agenda but rather due to the downfalls of the Fatah leadership. If Fatah take a new look at things and preach nonviolence it could be their new political ticket.
