And the evidence keeps pouring in......
"About 1,500 Palestinians, many supporters of the Islamic
militant group Hamas," who "marched in a Gaza Strip refugee camp on
Friday, burning Israeli flags and carrying a large poster of Osama bin
Laden." The AP reports that "After the rally, plainclothes Palestinian
policemen questioned several journalists, including staffers of foreign
news agencies, and confiscated videotape and film as well as camera
equipment. An Associated Press Television News video was among the
materials taken, and an AP photographer was warned by officials not to
publish pictures of the bin-Laden poster."
I hope you feel real good, Jeroen, about supporting a terrorist-sponsoring
and supporting regime that threatens journalists who report basic facts
against a free democracy like Israel.
