No Porn in Gaza

Mon, May 19, 2008 at 11:08:39 am PDT

If anything will get the people (read: the men) of Gaza to turn against Hamas, this might be it: Hamas bans pornographic websites in Gaza Strip.

GAZA (Reuters) - Islamist group Hamas has told the main Palestinian telecoms company to block access to pornographic Internet sites in the Gaza Strip, a Hamas government official said on Monday.

It's nigh on impossible to actually successfully block all porn sites.

So, all the other problems in Gaza have been resolved, that we're now down to eliminating smut?

Funny. Very funny. I guess Hamas has solved the infrastructure problems - no more sewage in the streets. Power that is uninterrrupted by terrorist attacks on fuel depots?

They're throwing all their energies in to getting rid of pron in Gaza. But the jihadi glorification videos are widely available.

Somehow "No porn without representation" doesn't have quite the ring as a good slogan for a nascent political movement. "Porn for all" perhaps. But I don't think many men will willingly come forward to admit their use.

From the article:

Attacks against video stores and Internet cafes have increased over the past two years. Some of the attacks had been claimed by radical Muslim groups who say such places run contrary to Islamic values.

Other Muslim countries such as Iran, Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia also control access to some political, social and pornographic websites.

Key word: Control access

Isn't the Middle East the highest trafficker of gay porn? I have read that somewhere.

For all the macho posturing I found Arab males to be remarkably feminine in their actual behavior. They routinely kiss on greeting. They hold hands much more than any western society male would consider comfortable. There is strong innuendo of acceptable homosexuality before marriage. The society does everything possible to prevent normal relations with females especially during adolescents and young adulthood.

I do believe their proportion of homosexuals would be statistically equivalent to a global proportion but their cultural conditions trend to feminine behaviour.

But this is Hamas banning porn, just have to get it at the social services desk of Hizbullah instead. Is that wise?
