Reuters reports on the state of Hamastan. First the bad news:
About 50 attacks in recent months have damaged Internet cafes, stores selling television satellite dishes, barbers shops and pharmacies as well as a church and other Christian sites.
Last month, gunmen threw grenades at a U.N.-run school where boys and girls were holding a sports day. One person was killed.
Now for the good news, if such a development can be called “good.”
“The presence of al Qaeda in Palestine would hurt Hamas because such groups would try to attract Hamas followers, not those of secular factions,” political analyst Hani Habib said.
