AFP: Hamas Is "Merciful", "The New Face Of Law And Order"
For Ramadan, a show of mercy in Gaza - A bearded man in the blue combat fatigues of the new Hamas-run Gaza police held the steel door open as cameramen clamoured to enter Gaza City's notorious Soraya jail. Less than an hour earlier the Executive Force, the new face of law and order in the restive coastal territory, had announced it would free 84 prisoners as a gesture of goodwill on Wednesday, the eve of the holy month of Ramadan. And as part of an ongoing public relations blitz to prove to the world that the Islamist movement has brought stability in the wake of its violent June seizure of Gaza, they wanted everyone to see.
(1) Yes, very merciful:
(2) Isn't it funny how Hamas can impose their will all over Gaza, but some media sources - although notably, not Hamas itself - claim that they're unable to stop gigantic rockets from being fired out of Gaza at Israeli schools and hospitals? Strange, that.
