From Hamas: Incompetent or Cruel via DailyAlert: The continuing tragedy of Gaza is that it was supposed to offer Palestinians an opportunity to show they were ready for self-government after Israel withdrew in August 2005. Unfortunately, the Strip has descended into poverty and chaos, a launching pad for thousands of rockets targeted at Israel’s civilian population.

As the government, it is the responsibility of Hamas to get the

Barghouti’s killing offers a rare glimpse into a subterranean war that plays out daily in the West Bank, where Fatah and Hamas vie for power. An independent Palestinian investigation released this month found evidence that torture is
