Now JoeSettler has posted at Muqata that the tranquility has been broken and the IDF, police and ambulances were called out there--and 6 people, both Israeli Jews and Arabs--were taken to the hospital.
The cause?
Rival Arab clans attacked each other.

Rami Levy is supposed to be a symbol of coexistence in Gush Etzion, but it looks like this symbol just wasn't enough to maintain the fragile coexistence that exists in "Palestinian" Arab society which is actually a conglomeration of often rival Hamulot (clans).In the Middle East, Muslim countries keep such rivalries under control with a heavy hand, which raises one more question as to how Abbas--who still needs outside help to keep from being pushed out by Hamas--is supposed to maintain a state.
Technorati Tag: Rami Levi.

Its often forgotten that the Arab nation-state is little more than a line on a map drawn up by the British and French colonialists and they have little rational resemblance to the tribes whom inhabit their arbitrary borders and who feel little real sense of national, let alone pan-Arab consciousness. This as true of the Palestinian Arabs as it is true of the Arabs in the wider Middle East.
