Time magazine’s Andrew Lee Butters describes Hamas’ media tour of Gaza:
I’ve seen some tough things in the Middle East, but nothing has quite burned my retina like the sight of a hundred journalists bum-rushing the jail cells at Gaza City security headquarters to ask killers, thieves and child molesters what it’s like to be in a Hamas-run prison. Talk about Felliniesque.
Butters may be more accurate than he realizes. Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning film, La Dolce Vita, contributed the word “paparazzi” to Western vernacular.
