Gaza Blogger Pleads with Hamas to Stop Rocket Attacks on Israel
[Guardian-UK] Jenny Percival - Few bloggers are reporting from Gaza itself because of the lack of electricity, but Ramzy, a young teacher in Gaza, has made a podcast on an independent student website in which he pleads with Hamas to stop its rocket attacks on Israel to prevent further loss of life. "I'm not Hamas, I'm not Fatah, I just care about my people....This stubbornness will lead to more Palestinian casualties and deaths in Gaza. We are the big losers here, the Palestinian people, not Hamas or Israel," Ramzy says. He says the huge imbalance of power in favor of Israel means Hamas must cease hostilities. "I call on Hamas to get out...to spare people's lives here. Hamas should really consider giving up for the sake of the people being killed." Ramzy criticizes the president of the Hamas government for saying Hamas will not give up at a time when so many Palestinians are losing their lives.
