With Little to Show, Gazans Question Mass Border Protests
(AP) Faris Akram - Ahmed Abu Artima was one of the founders of the "Great March of Return," the weekly protests along Gaza's frontier with Israel, but these days he mostly avoids the demonstrations. He is among a growing number of Gazans who believe the protests have lost their way. With little to show from 18 months of demonstrations beyond hundreds of people killed or wounded, many Gazans are beginning to question and even criticize the Hamas-led protests. On days before the Friday protests, vehicles with loudspeakers tour Gaza streets and mosques urging families to head to the fence. On Friday, buses pick up participants from across Gaza.
