| Hamas orders book ban of Palestinian folk tales The Hamas-run Education Ministry has ordered an anthology of Palestinian folk tales pulled from school libraries and destroyed, reportedly over mild sexual innuendo Who ever knew Paleos have folk-tales involving sex other than gun-sex? Meanwhile EU stance on PA gov't priority for foreign ministers Some European Union governments are signaling that they would favor early encouragement of the new Palestinian government - a stance that could test the bloc's unified position on Hamas when foreign ministers meet Monday. Of course now, when Hamas started banning books, their position is going to change. Meanwhile Gunbattle breaks out in Gaza City Members of Hamas engaged in a daytime gunbattle with security officers in the worst outbreak of internal violence since rival Palestinian factions agreed to form a unity government last month, security officials said. The gunbattle broke out in Gaza City when Hamas and Fatah loyalists argued over who had control of a nearby training compound, security officials said. Live-fire exercises are training. |
