HAMAS AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

The Hamas Movement continues to pressure journalists attempting to operate within its domain of Gaza.

"The attempted arrest of Agence France Press reporter Sakher Abu El Oun came a day after Hamas beat a group of journalists covering a demonstration protesting the Islamic militant group's rule in the Gaza Strip. Abu El Oun, who heads the Gaza journalists' union, harshly criticized the Hamas crackdown." - HAMAS FORCES FAIL TO ARREST AFP JOURNALIST.

Makes you wonder why other journalists operating in the region obediently follow the Hamas line and seek to demonise Israel at every turn. Also makes you wonder at the sanity of those British journalists who are supposedly boycotting the Jewish State.
