Hamas bans Gaza restaurant from screening Abbas' UN speech
Hamas security personnel prevented a Gaza restaurant from screening Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' address to the UN General Assembly, a local rights group said Sunday.

Two men in plain clothing, who introduced themselves as members of the Hamas-run General Investigations Service (GIS), arrived at the establishment in western Gaza City late Friday and ordered the owner to stop the broadcast, threatening to close his restaurant.

The GIS members then contacted the Hamas police, who arrested the owner, the Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) said.

They also confiscated the ID card of a journalist who filmed the incident and refused to hand over his tape.

2. Yep.
UN recognition would start a war, but I'm not absolutely sure whose bullets would go where.

3. The Civil War within the arab portions would be intensified
Now is the lull before the storm between Hamas and Fatah.
