You’d think Hamas would treat Palestinian pilgrims a little better despite the fact they coordinated their Mecca trips through PA offices in Ramallah. AP writes:
Hamas police set up checkpoints across Gaza on Saturday to prevent pilgrims from leaving for a holy Muslim ritual in Saudi Arabia, beating some who tried to dodge barriers, witnesses said . . . .
Some pilgrims managed to dodge checkpoints by taking back roads to the Rafah crossing with Egypt. There, Hamas police beat up those who refused to leave, said pilgrims speaking on a call-in show on the pro-Fatah Palestine Television.
Checkpoints, barriers and beatings? Do you really think Hamas will treat its dhimmis any better than their fellow Muslims?
