Video: Free Speech in Gaza?

Reporters believe that people living in an area ruled by terrorists are comfortable speaking openly with foreign reporters and criticizing Hamas.

Reporters with the New York Times and the Independent (UK) interview Palestinians in Gaza. They believe that only some are comfortable being critical of Hamas. Why would anyone living under a terrorist regime, especially during a war, not be afraid to speak openly to the press? Do reporters honestly believe that Palestinians are happy being used as “human shields” by Hamas?
