Perspective
Lisa of On the Face writes: Israeli citizens are not allowed to enter Gaza, even if they have a foreign passport, so they have to content themselves with reports from the West Bank instead. Here is a report on what I saw and heard in Ramallah last Friday, the day after Hamas took power in Gaza. 
“The five-star Fatah refugees from Gaza wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts and speaking fluent Hebrew told hair-raising stories of teenage boys presumed loyal to Fatah being flung from the fourteenth floor of office buildings, their hands shackled and their mouths taped shut.
Their unspoken message is interesting: suddenly Fatah represents the reasonable, civilized Palestinians. They speak Hebrew, they look like us and they sound like us, and Islamist militants threaten them just as they threaten Israel.”
