In Gaza, Palestinian 'Party of Love' provokes death threats
A psychologist from the Gaza Strip who announced his intention to establish the first Palestinian Party of Love has received death threats from many Palestinians, who are accusing him of promoting "immoral" values.

Dr. Hassan Nurani, a resident of Deir al-Balah, first came to the attention of the Palestinian public earlier this year when he declared his intention to run for the elections to succeed Yasser Arafat as chairman of the Palestinian Authority.

Nurani, who founded a small party called the Movement for Justice and Freedom, was able to collect the requisite 5,000 signatures to submit his candidacy but couldn't afford the $3,000 needed to register for the election.

Desperate to run, the psychologist tried to sell off his small parcel of land and his home furnishings, but he still wasn't able to raise the sum and was eventually forced to drop out of the race.

Nurani's platform called for the building of a "civilized and moral society" free of corruption and gangsters.
