| Hamas-led government expresses regret over Gaza riots |
| 2006-10-02 |
| (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian government led by Islamic Hamas movement has expressed on Sunday regret for the riots which erupted earlier in the Gaza Strip leaving eight killed and 70 others wounded. Government spokesman Ghazi Hamad affirmed in a statement sent to reporters that the government's decision to deploy the auxiliary force of the interior ministry "was an attempt to restore law and order intact to avoid the ongoing state of chaos." Hamad also stated that minister of interior Said Siam gave orders to his forces to avoid violence against either citizens or the security service members. "The participation of security service members in riots is a violation of the law which threatens national security in the Palestinian community," said Hamad. The protests surpassed the legal standard and developed into riots and mutiny when they used force and broke into Palestinian institutions, he added. Riots in Gaza erupted on Sunday after Hamas deployed interior ministry forces in the Gaza Strip to prevent other security and police members from demonstration against the Hamas-led government. Security and police members demonstrated in Gaza over the past three days, calling on both the government and the presidency to pay them salaries. |

| #3 The majority elected Hamas into power. Since then, the free flow of cash has disappeared. Now, the foolish starving paleos are rioting against Hamas. This is a classic case of an uninformed population expecting to make intelligent choices, but making a mess of their own existence due to lack of facts and learned conclusions. Hamas did not misrepresent themselves, the paleos are stupid. Do they riot against their stupidity ? No, they riot against Hamas. How much of this will it take before the paleos fix their broken education and information systems ? Never ! This is Islam. This is what the world faces under Islam. That's all their is; the destructon of western culture, and then.......... Nothing. Sheeple. Life in the gutter. |
