Senior Hamas member Mahmoud al-Zahar dismissed a statement made by Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Mashaal, who claimed recently that the group will hold mass rallies against Israel within the Gaza Strip.
"Popular resistance is inappropriate for the Gaza Strip," al-Zahar said. "Against whom exactly would be rally? Such resistance would be fitting if Gaza was occupied." However, he claimed that all forms of resistance – including the armed kind – are appropriate for the West Bank, as it is "still under occupation." (Elior Levy)
Hamas themselves admit Gaza is "not occupied"

Well it isn't is it? Annoyingly for the Israel-haters who insist that it is so as not to be robbed of an excuse to criticise Israel.
Even Hamas don't believe that nonsense.

Expected response from the anti-Israel brigade -
Typical Zionist propaganda, taken right out of the Israeli Hasbara hand-book!

Well they could argue with Mahmoud al-Zahar if they wished, or claim Ynetnews just made it up.

Fact: Israel and Hamas are at a state of war
So why on earth would Israel provide anything to an enemy entity. Let them get their bread and butter from their Muslim brethren via Egypt.
