Another Hamas victory

First it was ‘green revolution’ in Gaza; now, Hamas able to end Israeli siege

Ali Waked

"The departure and return of the pilgrims to Mecca, the renewed supply of fuel and electricity, the opening of the Rafah crossing, and the enlistment of the masses and some Arab, Islamic, and Western governments to the Palestinian cause – all of the above are credited to, at the end of the day, to Hamas.

Indeed, Hamas is reinforcing its hold under the siege, which is slowly being cracked.....

Hamas was able to get people out to the streets with candles, cameras were clicking, rallies were organized across the Arab world with the help of sympathizers and local organizations, Palestinian masses assembled at the Rafah Crossing, and masses blow up the fence, while public opinion could show nothing but understanding....."
