ROLE CHANGE IN GAZA. The Palestinians are rebelling against their oppressor:

"We are one people and our enemy is one. We should unite against our enemy."

In this case though, it's Fatah talking about Hamas.

At least eight people, including two foreign journalists, were hurt in Gaza when thousands of men from the Fatah movement used open-air Friday prayers to protest against the Hamas Islamist takeover of the Palestinian enclave.

...Fahmi al-Zahrir, a Fatah spokesman in the West Bank, said the secular group would continue to protest Hamas's Gaza takeover until it is ended and accused the group of being undemocratic.

The media prefers to pigeonhole using well-used templates, including oppressor vs. oppressed--an old favorite, and Fatah seems to be taking advantage of this.

What happens when 2 groups adept at manipulating the media collide?
I don't know, but we are going to find out.
