Lets pray that Johnston is released unharmed, but it is good to see that Hamas will not cower to the Fatah aligned Army of Islam thugs holding him hostage and who work against the interests of the Palestinian people as a whole. Hamas is rapidly proving itself worthy of the trust granted them by the Palestinian people who overwhelmingly elected them to power in the last democratic elections. Hamas is also demonstrating that through its leadership it can maintain order where Fatah failed, but unfortunately the democratically elected Hamas government is currently under attack by the anti-democratic forces within the Bush and Olmert regimes who seek to find a justification to deny the People of Palestine their freedom at any cost.

Gilad and Eldad and Goldwasser? Fuckin hipocrtyes long live israel

Good story, but don't you think you should incorporate this story into an up-to-date report? Hello.
