Paleos Starving, so Hamas plans to build $200m. Hollywood-style media city
They've discovered that propaganda works well, especially with a willing audience.
It's a tale worthy of its own movie script: The Gaza Strip's isolated and cash-strapped Hamas rulers plan to build a $200 million (140 million) media city and movie production house that will be part tourist attraction and part effort to cement control of the territory it seized by force in June.
So far, though, the Islamic group has raised only a tiny fraction of the money it needs for its own Hollywood, at a time when the Gaza economy has ground to a standstill and its people are struggling to feed themselves because of Israeli and international sanctions against the Islamic group listed as a terror organization.
