Two stories of theft - which will receive coverage ? Aug 20, 2010
I read today about the story of Israeli soldiers who sold seized laptops from members of the flotilla.

Unsurprisingly, the media is already providing heavy coverage of this story and it has made the rounds on loon sites, including a loon who already posted the story here:

What's interesting is that there was another story of theft today, except that it did not receive any wide media coverage.

Hamas, as they have done numerous times in the past, raided a clinic in the Gaza Strip back in June when Hamas decided to arbitrarily close it.

The 'loot' included computer equipment, telephones, chairs and office supplies, plus medical files (Geeh, that might be important to Gazan patients).

No word yet if Hamas will open an investigation, if the doctors may sue Hamas or if the thieves will even be prosecuted.

I expect another instance where Hamas misdoings are bottled up. But hey, the attention this story has and will receive from the mainstream media, the Left and Muslim websites and media should highlight how much the loons actually care about the Palestinians.

In reality, these loons are anti-Israel, not pro-Palestine.

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories — French aid group Help Doctors accused the Palestinian Hamas organisation on Wednesday of seizing equipment and files from one of its Gaza clinics which it closed in June.

"Four men from the (Hamas) interior ministry entered the clinic on Tuesday morning and seized computer equipment, telephones, chairs, office equipment and medical files," the organisation said in a statement.

The men left the premises without saying why the equipment was being confiscated, it said.

On June 16 the clinic in the southern Gaza town of Khan Yunis was closed on the orders of the Islamist Hamas rulers of the coastal enclave, the statement said.

The centre, which specialises in the treatment of chronic illnesses, had cared for some 5,000 patients since it opened in April 2009 and provided "free health care to diabetics," the statement said.

The organisation denounced the clinic's closure as "an unfair decision which endangers the health of some patients" and which "violates international humanitarian law."
