Why Isn't Gaza Revolting Against Hamas?
(Times of Israel) Elhanan Miller - Bassem Eid, a veteran Jerusalem-based human rights activist and political analyst, said, "There is no doubt there's an atmosphere of fear and terror in Gaza." He cited the killing of Hamas official Ayman Taha in Gaza last week over suspicions of corruption and collaboration with Arab intelligence agencies. "Others were executed in various gatherings under the pretext of their being collaborators with Israel." "Hamas has a physical presence in almost every house in Gaza and can listen to what's being said. It's a Stasi regime par excellence," he continued, referring to the East German secret police. "The population is much more scared of Hamas than it is of the Israeli soldiers."
