I've Been Thinking:
The protests in Lebanon are having a ripple effect in the Middle East. People in
Lebanon have been taking to the streets to protest against government corruption and mismanagement.
Hamas in Gaza is afraid that the residents will learn form Lebanon and swarm to the streets and protest in Gaza.
So Hamas has arrested dozens of political leaders from groups and parties and organizations that might want to challenge Hamas especially those who have the potential to gather protesters.
This is another great example of the inter-connectedness of the issues across the Middle East. Even the small internal politics of Lebanon impact Gaza and probably many other places in the Middle East.
