Palestinian Media on Gaza: Contrasting the PA and Hamas
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) David Pollock - Analysis of Palestinian media over the past week of fighting in Gaza shows a vast difference between PA and Hamas coverage.

In Gaza, by contrast, Hamas media are relentlessly inciting violence, indulging in venomous hate speech, and gloating about imaginary hits on Israeli civilian targets.
