Hamas, het 'democratisch gekozen regime in Gaza' zoals linkse politici en 'vredesactivisten' blijven beweren, neemt het met democratische waarden niet zo nauw. Niet alleen martelt men (vermeende) Fatah leden, ook worden haar onwelgevallige kranten en journalisten bedreigd. Dit is niet de eerste keer dat een krant wordt gedwongen te sluiten.

Ramallah - Ma'an - De facto government forces shut down the offices of the As-Subeh (The Morning) newspaper and detained its Chief Editor Sari Al-Qudweh in an evening raid Tuesday.
The Palestinian journalists' union condemned the detention in a Wednesday statement saying the home and office of Al-Qudweh were raided, and his papers and computer confiscated before the editor was detained.
The union called on all media and rights institutions to intervene and demand the immediate release of Al-Qudweh.
Journalists should not be the target of political conflicts, the union's statement said, and reminded the governments in the West Bank and Gaza that Al-Qudweh is not the only journalist who has been targeted in recent months.
While calling for the release of Al-Qudweh and the re-opening of As-Subeh in Gaza, the union also called on caretaker government officials in Ramallah to make sure the local newspapers "Palestine" and "Ar-Risala" (The letter) were also permitted to start circulating their publications in the West Bank.
