Hamas bans all contact with Israeli media

Hamas has banned all contact by 'Palestinians' with the Israeli media.

The Hamas government on Tuesday banned Palestinians from dealing or working with Israeli media outlets.

The decision was announced following the weekly meeting of the Hamas government in Gaza City.

Hamas said it decided to ban dealing or working with "Zionist media outlets because they are hostile."

Hamas warned Palestinian journalists and media employees from working with or helping their Israeli counterparts.

In the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority has not officially banned Palestinians from working with the Israeli media.

However, many PA officials and political figures refuse to talk to Israeli media organizations.

Maybe they should ban all foreign journalists who have contact with Israelis from having contacts with 'Palestinians.' That way the cooties wouldn't spread. Let's see how many media organizations are willing to send double staff here or send reporters to live permanently in Gaza.

Heh.
