"Israeli crackdown hits Hamas services in West Bank; Schools, offices raided, ordered shut by police" by Griff Witte, Washington Post | July 20, 2008

This is S.O.P. for the stink NaZionists, as is the Zionist-controlled, agenda-driving
Amerikan MSM's censorship of such.

NABLUS, West Bank - When Faris Abu Hasan was deciding where to send his two young daughters to school, one factor stood out above all others: test scores.

So Hasan opted against the beleaguered local government school, and chose instead the Islamic Basic School for Girls, where the classes were small and the teachers offered individual attention in math, science, history, and English.

"I wanted them to go to the best school in Nablus. And this is the best school in Nablus," said Hasan, a lawyer.

But the school is associated with Hamas, the Islamist movement that Israel considers a terrorist organization. One night earlier this month, the Israeli military raided the school - confiscating computers, trashing desks, and ripping student artwork from the walls. The school was ordered shut for the next three years. The operation was part of a much broader crackdown that Israel has recently initiated in the occupied West Bank against Hamas's extensive social services network.

Oh, the HAMAS SCHOOLS and SOCIAL SERVICES are better than the Zionist-serving PA, huh?

And the SHIT MSM sure kept that Israeli crackdown quiet, huh?

Otherwise I'D HAVE POSTED NEWS ITEMS on it!!!!

Case closed, cockshit popsicle suckers!!!

While Hamas is probably best known for its military wing, which champions attacks against the Jewish state, it is the group's sponsorship of schools, medical centers, orphanages, and food banks that gives it much of its power, and helped it sweep Palestinian elections in 2006.

Yeah, they WON ELECTIONS!!! Remember that!

With a fragile truce holding in Gaza, Israel has turned its attention to undercutting Hamas's charity work in the West Bank. The effort is needed there, Israel contends, to keep the group from seizing power from the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority.

But the raids have also sown resentment, and have put the Palestinian Authority in an awkward spot: Although Hamas is seen by Fatah leaders as a mortal threat, it also provides valuable services that the Palestinian Authority can't easily replicate. Every time Israel cracks down and closes a school or a medical center, it leaves a void that makes people more dissatisfied with the Palestinian Authority.

Then KEEP GOING, asshole Israel!!!!

"The one served best by these crackdowns is Hamas itself," said Jamal al-Muhaisen, governor of Nablus and a Fatah member. "It's embarrassing for the Palestinian Authority that we cannot protect these institutions that are under our control. It causes the people to feel sympathy for Hamas."

The Israeli military still sweeps in most nights.

Yup, and we HARDLY EVER HEAR ABOUT it in the shitty AmeriKan papers!!!

Instead it is all this AGENDA-PUSHING GARBAGE like "terrorists," gays, immigrants and global warming.

So, FUCK YOU, jewsmedia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the past two weeks, Israel has sent nightly convoys of trucks and jeeps into the city center so troops can bang down doors at organizations with suspected links to Hamas, collect evidence, and leave behind closure notices. More than a dozen offices have been targeted.

Yup, you did a great job of keeping that quiet, jewsmedia! Nice job!!!!

At the Islamic school, teachers arrived the morning after the raid and found the building almost completely gutted. "Everything was destroyed - my books, my papers, my exams," said Haneen Abu Aisheh, who has taught English and art at the school since it opened four years ago.

Hasan said that while the Islamic school includes religion in the curriculum - as do the government schools - it does not teach students to follow Hamas's ideology. Hasan said he and several other lawyers are challenging the closure order in court. But he is not optimistic.

"The problem is the military bases this order on secret evidence. There's nothing that we can argue with and debate," said Hasan, whose work typically involves representing Palestinian prisoners, including members of Hamas. His office was raided last week.

Israel says its raids of Hamas-affiliated schools in the West Bank have turned up propaganda for the group and posters glorifying violence against Israel."

And if you think I'm going to believe any turd-shit propaganda coming out of the mouths of Iz-ray-HELL, you are new to this blog!
