| ITN first station to report uprising by Gaza residents |
|
WITH some reluctance, ITN news became the first television broadcaster to grudgingly report a potential uprising by Gaza residents, sick to death at the brutal dictatorial rule they have been forced to endure for the past 19 years.
Hamas has controlled the enclave with an iron fist since it won elections there and has, up to now, ruthlessly disposed of any opposition that challenged their despotic regime. But suddenly the terrorists may have a challenge on their hands. Will there be any momentum built up by these daily demonstrations to take on the their rulers, or will a popular uprising — which may or may not be assisted by IDF — be trampled down in the ruins of Gaza before it becomes unstoppable. We wait with interest to see if other media outlets publicise these events, especially with so many other problems both here and abroad hogging the headlines. It’s also difficult to assess how the hostage situation can be successfully resolved with any additional turmoil in this arena of destruction and death.
