(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - No one seems to be interested in the ongoing human rights violations against Palestinians by Hamas. At least 25 villagers were injured during clashes in the Bedouin village of Umm al-Nasr, eight of them from gunfire. Hamas security forces arrested 85 villagers. Sources in Gaza said there are 28 more villages slated for demolition by Hamas on the pretext that they were illegally built on public lands. Egyptian writer Ali Rajab said that while Hamas has been trying to present itself as the defender of the Bedouin citizens of Israel, it is targeting the Bedouin living under its control in Gaza by demolishing their homes and confiscating their lands. Had the raid on the Bedouin village in Gaza been carried out by Israel, we would have seen scores of foreign journalists and the UN rushing to report about Israeli "crimes" and "ethnic cleansing." Since no Jew was involved, the international media are unlikely to report the story.
