I've Been Thinking:The Arab Spring might have arrived in Gaza.
Yesterday over 500 people rallied and demanded that Hamas step down. The protests were a result of the tragic death of a 3 year old baby burned to death in a fire caused by candles due to the electricity blackouts.
Hamas blames the electric blackouts on Egypt.
It is against the law in Gaza to protest against the Hamas government. So when 500 people gather in the streets to call for ousting them, that is big news.
This story should be covered around the world. Let's see if Arab news agencies, especially Arabic TV, pick it up.
If this takes hold and protests continue it just could cause an ousting of Hamas.
