World Trib: GAZA CITY -- The Hamas regime has sought to control one of the last Fatah-dominated institutions in the Gaza Strip.Palestinian sources said the Hamas regime has sent operatives to take over Al Azhar University. The university, located Gaza City, has been a Fatah stronghold for nearly 30 years and resisted the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007.
"Hamas sees Al Azhar as the last bastion of Fatah in the Gaza Strip," a Palestinian activist said. "All the other Fatah institutions have either been destroyed or went underground."
On March 31, Hamas sent operatives to storm Al Azhar and capture the student administration.
I'm sure it was just like Columbia in 68.
Witnesses said members of the Hamas-sponsored Islamic Bloc raided the university, detained security guards and assaulted teachers and students.
Bodes well for academic freedom.
At that point, the operatives began decorating the university with Hamas flags and posters to memorialize Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin, assassinated by Israel in 2003.
Al Azhar vice president Jaber El Da'our said he and several aides responded to the Hamas takeover. When they arrived on campus, El Da'our said, the Hamas operatives began harassing the university administrators.
"The teachers and I decided to stay away from them and their ceremony,"
El Da'our recalled.
Effing A right, I bet.
"However, they pursued us again and started to assault us till we left campus. We demonstrated near the main university entrance; however the police came and beat us and insulted us using gas to disperse us."
Maybe you should start a kids show with a rabbit and have him kill Khaled Meshal with a rabbit sword.
A university woman student said she was attacked by Hamas operatives on campus. The student said she required hospitalization after she was sprayed with chloride.
Hamas police acknowledged that university teachers and students were attacked by officers. Hamas police commander Gen. Tawfiq Jaber said the Fatah-aligned staffers and students had been blocking a main artery outside the campus.
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (don't ever tell me there's no humor in Islam) said the Hamas raid was part of its campaign against the opposition Fatah movement. The center urged the Hamas regime to maintain academic freedom in the Gaza Strip.
"PCHR calls upon all parties to keep universities and educational institutions out of the ongoing power struggle between Fatah and Hamas," the group said.

The only difference between Fatah and Hamas is the thickness of the layers of blood on their hands.
Al Azhar is reaping what it has sown for many years. The cultural revolution, like all cultural revolutions goes after the university and the teachers and staff, first, and then,in a burst of enthusiastic insanity, kills off everything that questions. Google the name Mark Gabriel and read his bio. His insights into Al Azhar university and what happens to those who question are eye opening.
Huh? I thought al-Azhar was in Egypt.
It is....but recall, hamas and fatah have factions everywhere. Including Egypt. Nothing to beat the boredom like internecine fighting, I always say. Israel was so stupid to give in to Jimmah and give back the Sinai. So many pieces, so little piece.
And I meant it when I spellt it that way.
Al Azhar/Gaza, sort of like UCSD, or Davis, etc.
Or perhaps like the satellite campus which provides degree completion programs in Suicide bombings.
