En ting er sammenstøtene og våpnene. Men hva er det de roper, Fatah-mennene i Khan Younis:

In Khan Yunis, Fatah loyalists touching off the melee by chanting, «Shia, Shia» – a reference to the Shiite Muslims who control Iran, Hamas’ backer.

Hamas gunmen opened fire and threw stones, and then Fatah returned fire. Masked Hamas gunmen from a nearby refugee camp came into the town to reinforce armed men already there.

Riktignok er adressaten politisk – Iran, men det er neppe tilfeldig at det ropes «shia».
