Hamas security personnel raid offices of media organizations, including Reuters and CNN, confiscate equipment and documents.

A number of Palestinian women journalists complained on Sunday that they had been beaten and tortured by Hamas security forces in the Gaza Strip.

They said the assaults occurred in recent days when they and their colleagues tried to cover pro-unity rallies in different parts of the Gaza Strip.

At least eight journalists were beaten by the Hamas police officers during the rallies.

Some had their cameras and laptops confiscated, while others were taken into custody and made to sign a document pledging to refrain from covering such events in the future.

Well what do they expect? They are in the presence of barbarians and the fact that they are beating their own shows just what kind of animals they are.

You crawl in bed by snakes.....expect to be bitten at some point.

Shades of thing to come.

Islam doesn’t tolerate openness - and that is what news reporting is supposed to generate.

U.S. taxpayers indirectly fund Hamas through the Palestinian Authority.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of people. Remove 90% of the media, unions, lawyers in that order and the world would be a better place. IMHO

There’s no free press in Gaza.

These hacks in Gaza offices were reporting under intimidation, while colluding with Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas. The AP and Reuters string pool photographers are known for posing situations, and wouldn’t get access in these dangerous mob rule warzones otherwise. It’s a propaganda center.

These so called reporters hid daily crimes against humanity, in order to keep their jobs and further their cause, but even that wasn’t enough under the thumb of paranoid Hamas during a civil war. The PA and Hamas are talking unification, so who do the fake journalists line up with? That’s a large part of what this is about.

This stuff happening as much as it is now was unheard of with Mubarak as President of Egypt.

These “reporters” will still smear Israel and promote the poor oppressed Muslims every chance they get, guaranteed.

These “reporters” are all a bunch of little Tim McGirks, running around begging for juicy propaganda they can use to smear the United States and Israel. Screw them all.

I mean... I think I heard that most of these reporters are Mossad spies.
Somebody better tell Hamas...

Moose will do what Moose will do.

It’s only the irrational hatred of Israel that its Pallie neighbor can’t let go of, to the point of moving them to embrace barbarians like Hamas, which is keeping them from being at peace, free, and prosperous. Israel certainly has no wish to return the Islamic demonic determination to “drive the Jews into the sea.” It simply wishes to exist unmolested.

But these are Obama’s snakes and I suspect he’s happy to see women put in their place.

Married to moochie will do that to a person.

All right. That did it. We gotta intervene in Ghaza. Those women reporters could flee back to Israel, destabilizing the region. We must go in there now! Coalition of the...the...chillin’: FORWARD!
