Life or Death in the Gaza Strip

[Grizzly]

We finally got a rare glimpse of the embattled Gaza Strip and a chance to see what life was like under the rule of Hamas. In 2007 we tried and failed to get into Gaza through the Israeli-controlled Erez Crossing. Back then the rival Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatah were engaged in a bloody war for control of this tiny strip of land. Hamas won. When the post-Mubarak government of Egypt decided to start letting small numbers of folks into Gaza through their Rafah Crossing, we knew we could finally enter the region.

Interesting video, though I find it to be a bit biased against Hamas and somewhat pro-Israeli in subtle ways.

The Arabs really need to chill the fuck out on religion. They think the imaginary man in the sky is controlling everything. Even the smallest things.

Islam is ruining them, but it's such a major part of Arab culture, I doubt they will ever free themselves of the religious craziness.
