Using clubs to force residents from their homes, Hamas police evicted residents of homes in Rafah - temporary shacks - built "without the correct permits" before bringing in bulldozers to finish the job of demolishing up to 40 houses on Sunday (http://www.imemc.org/article/58702). Further evictions are expected, reports AP (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37178222/ns/business/).
It's hard to see, at a time when people are attempting to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza - including of course, our own/EJJP cement appeal (http://jfjfp.com/?p=12834)- how Hamas could have shot itself in the foot in a more idiotic yet comprehensive way. Quite apart from demolishing the homes of its own displaced people in order to build a "House of Virtue" (isn't it virtuous to see your citizens have shelter?) it seems to have escaped the attention of Hamas officials that they are aping not just the behaviour, but the threadbare excuses offered by Israelis when they demolish homes in Jerusalem.

Dan, Hamas are an organization committed to the genocide of the Jews. Towards that end, they have no compunction about using their own civilians as human shields in combat. They came to power throwing Fatah members to their deaths from the rooftops. They shot Fatah members in hospital beds during Cast Lead. They celebrate openly at killing innocents, handing out sweets in the street. They rule Gaza with an iron fist, treating women and anyone who doesn't conform to their extremist agenda with brutality. Your surprise at their behaviour demonstrates your extreme and dangerous naivete.
What kind of people do you think you're dealing with?
