Hamas militiamen beat protesters in Gaza - Yahoo! News

Hamas "security men"? Sounds like terrorist thugs too me. It sounds like Hamas is enjoying the hold it has on Gaza! It is hard to convert a bunch of murderers into a security force. It is harder to convert a terrorist cell into a governing body. HA! The few poor civilians in the middle are the ones who pay, but I do not pity them much.

Hamas militiamen beat protesters in Gaza - Yahoo! News: "Security men for Gaza's Hamas rulers clubbed and slammed rifle butts into opponents staging a rare protest Monday, seizing the cameras of journalists covering the event and raiding media offices to prevent news footage from getting out.

The Islamic militant group claims it is willing to tolerate dissent, but the crackdown was the latest in a series of moves to squash opposing voices, including breaking up private parties Friday and Monday where people were singing songs of the rival Fatah movement.

After Hamas gunmen in the Gaza Strip routed forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah in five days of fighting in June, the group declared an amnesty for former Fatah fighters.

Yet when Fatah and allied groups announced plans for Monday's rally, Hamas banned 'all demonstrations and public gatherings' that do not have official permission."
