Meer chaos in de Gazastrook (2 berichten)

In tegenstelling tot reportages op TV, waar veelal wordt gesuggereerd dat Hamas de orde goed handhaaft en privé milities met harde hand worden bestreden, is wetteloosheid in de Gazastrook aan de orde van de dag, niet in de laatste plaats door toedoen van Hamas zelf.
