FRUSTRATION MOUNTS IN GAZA

The suffering in Gaza continues to get worse, as Arabs gain experience with self-rule.


Quote:
"The price of cigarettes has soared in the last few months. Why? Because Hamas decided that cigarette taxes would be an excellent source of income for Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's government."

Have they NO sympathy for the man in the street?
What will Abu Hackitylung do for relaxation now? He can't go the cinema (un-Islamic), he can't listen to his tapes of Umm Kaltoum wailing about the suffering of the poor repressed Arabs (hopelessly irrelevant since the great Spring victory - everybody is eating strawberries and singing songs in praise of the great leader), and he cannot even pray in public anymore (per the BBC, public prayer in Gaza is considered counter-revolutionary http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6978540.stm ).
And he already gave up liquor for lent. Or something.


Now "they" are interfering with the one thing he likes doing more than shooting off fireworks.

It's a crying shame, is what it is.

I really blame the smoking Nazis. It was only a matter of time before that bunch imposed their evil agenda on the newly liberated territory.

The world must demand that the rights of the smokers of Gaza are not further trampled by the liberal commie mamzers who wish to regulate tobacco.

Break the blockade - Camels for Gaza now!
