The Gap between Resistance and Governance in Gaza
(Maan News-PA) Mahmoud Abu Rahma - Neither the government nor the resistance in Gaza is willing to step in to protect people who dare to criticize them. Every day we see detention and summoning of citizens by the dozens; not for unlawful acts they committed, but mostly for who they are and what they think, or for their mere political affiliation. There are reports of hundreds of cases of torture and abuse. Numerous people have been injured from live fire coming from resistance group training sites. Training sites function in places very close to neighborhoods and/or schools, from where firing rockets also occurs. The state of carelessness on the part of the resistance is also causing continued victims of the misfiring of rockets that fall on houses inside Gaza. If the people do not enjoy respect and rule of law from the resistance groups and the government, they will all go down together. The writer has been a human and civil rights activist in Gaza for 15 years.
