News the HP Doesn't Cover: Hamas Child Abuse

One of the HP's most popular articles recently is this one about Israel arresting Palestinian minors for stone throwing. Naturally, there was a lot of hand-wringing and decrying about terrible Israel abusing the poor Palestinians. So what do you think the chances are of the HP mentioning this revelation:

"Today [Hamas] arrested of a minor child Mohammed Abu Harbeed (13 years old) and other children, and tortured and beat them with batons and blindfolded them in the cold, for raising the banners of the Fatah movement.

A Fatah spokesman said that 'these practices are incompatible with the principles of national and moral traditions and customs, and with human rights and international covenants and instruments, which provide for the protection of the rights of children, as well as inconsistent with the teachings of our religion."

  1. If it doesn't involve Israel, no one is interested. That's why they're anti-Zios after all, not pro-Palestinian advocates. Their interest in the Palestinians is solely a function of their opposition to Israel's existence.

Hey guys we've started to employ a slight comment policy. We used to have completely open comments but then people abused it. So our comment policy is such: No obvious trolling or spamming. And be warned: unlike the Huffington Post we actually enforce our comment policy.
