I'm kind of torn on this one.

It's hard to tell what's actually gone one.  Is Hamas just, yet again, eliminating their political opposition or are they confronting a violent islamic group.  The former represents the status quo, the latter represents a shift towards responsible government by Hamas.  If it is the latter case, is this shift genuine?  Does Hamas actually plan on confronting armed islamic thugs or is this just a PR move designed to distance themselves from the bad press caused by the aid worker's execution.

Regardless of what Hamas's intentions may be, I doubt Mr. Arrigoni is happy about his presence resulting in even more Palestinians dieing under violent circumstances.  Although if he'd taken an honest look at the ramifications of his work, he probably could have predicted this.



FREE THE LB4!!
