GAZA CITY (AFP) -- Hundreds of people in the Gaza Strip protested on Friday against Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, in marches organized by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Marchers set off from mosques across the coastal strip before converging on a square in the middle of Gaza City, with protesters brandishing signs saying "No to negotiations" and slamming West Bank-based President Mahmoud Abbas's "political failure."

Hamas' religious affairs minister Ismail Radwan addressed the group's arch-rival Abbas in a speech during the protests.

"All the Palestinian factions say you don't have the right to relinquish any piece of our land, or to give up Palestinian rights," he said.

4. Can the present events be seriously called "peace talks"?

The euphemistic abuse of language continues.
