Gaza women protest extremist group's threats of beheading

""

Around 50 anchors and employees from government-run Palestine TV, mostly women wearing Muslim headscarves, marched from the station's offices in Gaza City toward the office of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to protest the threat from a group calling itself the Swords of Truth, known for firebombing Internet cafes and record stores.

"We will cut throats, and from vein to vein, if needed to protect the spirit and morals of this nation," the group said in a statement e-mailed to news agencies on Friday. The statement accused the female anchors of being "without any ... shame or morals."

given the lack of democracy, tribal loyalty etc especially in gaza as opposed to the westbank i dont give the polls so much credit. intifada i was a spontanous uprising from "the people" a grass roots uprising.... that is in fact their only hope.
