Crime & Punishment in the Gaza Strip

We finally got a rare glimpse of the embattled Gaza Strip and a chance to see what life was like under the rule of Hamas. In 2007 we tried and failed to get into Gaza through the Israeli-controlled Erez Crossing. Back then the rival Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatah were engaged in a bloody war for control of this tiny strip of land. Hamas won. When the post-Mubarak government of Egypt decided to start letting small numbers of folks into Gaza through their Rafah Crossing, we knew we could finally enter the region.

hamas is a libration organization & a proper army but i dont agree with the fact they use sucide bombing as a type of warfare

[grabthis joke]

many of them are foriegn immigrants from other arab countries.. mostly saudi arabia egypt syria.. and little bit from sudan. only minority of them really lived there for years. suddenly they come make children and become 'palestinians'? (that is a stealing of the historical name by the way!) .

family name al-masri prove egyptian ancestry! al-tikrit- iraq , halabi - syria.. there are more..

the nice lady at 09:44 should be called sudanese not a 'palestinian'

Islam came from the desert and it can only turn a nation into a desert. Christianize the Middle East or we will see violence like this for as long as Islam is allowed to exist.

But you said my facts are wrong when if fact you did not expect it to be over all.
