Most volunteers have reported being treated quite royally.

Clearly this group that murdered Mr. Arrigoni will earn only the scorn of the entire Gaza population - even among the most militant Hamas supporters. I remember a time when Al Qaida had real support in the Gulf states. When they started kidnapping and murdering - their support immediately came to an end. How much more so than for the people of Gaza whose survival requires people like Mr. Arrigoni,

Arrigoni was the first foreign national to be abducted in the Gaza Strip since BBC journalist Alan Johnston, who was held for 114 days by an al Qaeda-inspired clan group named the Army of Islam. He was released in 2007.
