Strangely enough, protests in Gaza and the West Bank in support of the Egyptians are broken up and protesters arrested by Hamas and the PA.

Neither of the protests seemed to have called for a removal of either the Hamas or PA governments or reform or anything like that.

Just good 'ole fashion police-state tactics. Gotta love the fact that our faux democracy supporters in Egypt have all been the ones to cheer Hamas on since day one.

Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian writer and activist, said neither authority tolerated protests.

"Fatah and Hamas agree on so little; at the core of that little common denominator lies repression of dissent and suppression of freedoms," Barghouti said Monday in an email.


Now, let's wait for one of the fanbois to quote a newspaper editorial saying Hamas supports free speech and peaceful protests.
