20. I don't doubt that many in gaza..
are not thrilled with hamas rule...which is the problem we're going to be seeing in egypt soon enough (muslim brotherhood) and what we saw in iran....when the religious ones get the power, they no longer have any need for real elections or revolutions or rebellions (having god on your side tends to give you that 'power')....so protesting their rule is not going to get them much.

Btw there were two main universities in gaza, hamas owned and fatah owned.....i no longer know if the fatah one is still working, but those secular youth are not going to get much leeway from hamas. (or from those youth who joined hamas to 'get a job").

Hamas has already cracked down on its rebellious youth, in the south they razed a mosque, they've shot protestors, trashed the intl News organization offices....they have little patience for western morality nor values when they god given govt is threatened
