  • War on Gaza a ‘Tie’ With Hamas

    By Daoud Kuttab The images were different, but two words were repeated in most TV graphics announcing the start of the ceasefire. “Gaza victorious” (Gaza tantaser) were the words superimposed on images of Palestinian fighters, rockets and scenes of destruction in the background.
