Subdued circus.
When Palestinians kill Palestinians? We see what appears to be respectful silence, we see a carpet covering the place where, presumably, the body is. We do still see tons of cameras (notice the boom mikes), but not quite so much shouting and screaming. We also see Palestinian "security services" keeping everything in order. Can you say "Thugocracy?" Nobody in the press can, it seems, unless they're referring to the West.
As usual, the drive-by media can't figure any intelligent questions to ask about the situation.
