Hamas Rejects Egyptian Demand To Stop Gaza Border Protests
[Jpost] Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, has rejected an Egyptian request to halt the weekly demonstrations along the border between the Gazoo Strip and Israel, Paleostinian sources said on Saturday.

The sources said that Egyptian intelligence officials who met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
in Gazoo City last Thursday also demanded that the protesters stay at least 500 meters away from the border. However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
Hamas also rejected this demand, the sources told the London-based al-Hayat newspaper.

On Friday, Paleostinians again demonstrated near the border, some of whom tried to cross the security fence. Sources in the Gazoo Strip said approximately 130 Paleostinians were maimed by gunfire and tear-gas inhalation.

Several Paleostinians who were at the demonstration commented that the number of demonstrators was smaller than in previous weeks. They also pointed out that the protesters dispersed earlier than usual, raising speculation about a possible secret deal between Hamas and Egypt.

"The Egyptians made it clear to Hamas that Israel was this time more serious than ever and would use unprecedented force if the violence continues along the border," said a Paleostinian political analyst in the Gazoo Strip. "Apparently, Hamas issued instructions to its supporters to keep a low profile."

Shortly before the protests began, the organizers of the "Great March of Return" (the name Paleostinians use to call the protests that began March 30) urged Paleostinians to "maintain the peaceful and popular" nature of the demonstrations.

Taher a-Nunu, a senior Hamas official in the Gazoo Strip, said the weekly demonstrations will continue, but only in a "peaceful and popular" manner. He denied that the Egypt had asked Hamas to stop the protests.

#2 With all the "Hamas rejects" headlines I keep expecting to see Hamas leaders assasinated followups.
