Fatah loyalists: Gaza op is 'Allah's revenge' for Hamas actions

[Fozzledick]

By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent

"Anyone who comes out against Hamas - will die," said A., a resident of the Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza, and the father of nine. "Many people blame Hamas for the recent deterioration, but they are afraid to say anything," he said.

A. sits at home most of the day: "I put my children in the center of the house, and my wife, brothers and I sit in another room. We have no electricity, and there is also no water. The children start crying every time they hear the planes or helicopters overhead, and definitely when there are explosions.

"All we can do is hug them and calm them. They are afraid to go to the bathroom and the little ones wet themselves every once in a while," he explained.

A. is not considered a supporter of any of the Palestinian factions, but his anger with Hamas is discernible in his voice: "Look, most Palestinians will not say anything bad about Hamas. They are afraid for their lives. No one here will try to make any trouble or rebel. Forget about it. We saw what they did to families that tried to contend with them, such as Hilles or Dormush . They announced on their radio that if anyone 'harms security' - that means tries to challenge them - God will not have mercy on him. But in private conversations you hear the true criticism against them.
