The reality of life in Gaza under Hamas

World Tribune reports another Hamas atrocity against freedom in Gaza:

'The Hamas regime was believed to have torched a new water park in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian sources said about 25 gunmen stormed Crazy Water Park and set the entertainment facility on fire. They said the masked attackers, believed to be members of Hamas's secret security units, beat and bound the two guards before pouring gasoline and torching the main buildings and tents on Sept. 19.

"The number of gunmen and the professional way they destroyed the park could only be the work of Hamas," a Palestinian source said. '

But why would Hamas do such a thing, after all they are the liberal west's liberationist darlings?

Well the answer will not surprise anyone who knows what Hamas really are:

'Crazy Water Park was regarded as the most popular resort in the Gaza Strip. But in August, amid complaints by Muslim clerics of mixing of the sexes, Hamas began to crack down on the facility, used largely by middle-income Palestinians as well as employees of non-governmental organizations.

"The gunmen handcuffed and blindfolded the two guards, who were inside the park, and took them to the guards' room after confiscating the keys of the park's buildings," the Palestinian Center for Human Rights said. "A number of gunmen attacked the security guard by beating him, set fire to the park's buildings and restaurants, including Al Badiya section, and then left."

...

The Hamas crackdown began with raids of Crazy Water Park and the eviction of patrons. The sources said the owner of the facility, Panda Tourist Co., was warned not to allow the mixing of the sexes.

...

The Hamas crackdown, conducted by the General Investigations Bureau, has extended to other entertainment facilities in the Gaza Strip. In mid-September, the Islamic regime closed down a restaurant after a woman was seen smoking from a water pipe. Hamas also shut down a horse club and ordered a prominent hotel to suspend operations for three days.

...

Human rights groups said the arson was part of efforts by Hamas and its supporters to impose Islamic law throughout the Gaza Strip. No group has claimed responsibility for the arson, which was said to have destroyed Crazy Water Park.

The United Nations has also been the target of the Hamas crackdown. In May and June 2010, UN summer camps were attacked and vandalized by unidentified gunmen believed linked to Hamas. No arrests have been reported.

The Hamas Interior Ministry said the arson of Crazy Water Park was being investigated. The ministry did not elaborate'

Hamas kill and maim, threaten and vandakize but to the BBC and others... heroes.
