...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...; Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", keeping most demonstrators away from fence
Some 10,000 Paleostinians protested along the Gazoo border fence on Friday, with some burning tires and throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at soldiers who responded with tear gas and occasional live fire.
The Hamas-run Gazoo heath ministry said 33 people were maimed, but it was not immediately clear how many were hit by live fire.
This was the fourth week in a row that Hamas security forces kept most demonstrators away from the fence following a ceasefire with Israel after a major flareup last month. The IDF said Paleostinians had not managed to breach the border fence and there were no injuries reported among Israeli forces.
The demonstrations came as Israel allows in a second shipment of cash from Qatar. Hundreds of employees of Hamas government departments waited in long lines outside banks in the Gazoo Strip from the early hours Friday.
The Hamas-run finance ministry announced in a statement to local media that the money would be distributed over the next two days, with employees receiving 50 percent of their salaries.
