Pro-Hamas students holed up at Bir Zeit University
More than a dozen students staying on campus since May 5 for fear of arrest by PA
IR ZEIT, West Bank (AP) — At 26, Saed Qasrawi is among the oldest students at Bir Zeit University in the West Bank.
The leading Hamas activist has been enrolled for eight years, but he has been unable to complete his undergraduate engineering program because he keeps getting detained by Palestinian security forces before final exams.
This year, Qasrawi and more than a dozen other supporters of the Islamic militant group tried a new tactic. Since May 5, they’ve remained on campus — a sanctuary considered off limits to the security forces — to evade arrest.
Even with the tests over, the students are staying on, sleeping on mattresses in the enclosed foyer of the campus ATM machine because they fear they’ll be picked up if they leave.
Hamas student activists say President Mahmoud Abbas’ security forces keep harassing them, despite new attempts by him and his Hamas rivals to reconcile and end five years of separate governments in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

or Pinkwashing ?
*cough*
No, really, where do you get "blame Israel" from this article? 'Cause... it's just not there. You're just inserting it yourself, as if you believe it just needs to be there, even if you have to cram it in yourself for no reason at all.
Is it that you just have some sort of need for someone to run around blaming Israel at all times? Do we need to stage an intervention?
Nobody's blaming Israel there. Doing so yourself just makes you look like a comedian with a really bad routine. it's kind of dumb.
I guess what I'm saying is...
?
A lot of Americans do not get it .
Much easier than me having to explain Pinkwashing to you.
