The BBC "journalist" (that's a joke!) was probably going to testify for a fatah militant, and hamas did not like it.
Alan Johnson (BBC) was so pro-Pali his nose was brown! But still due to tribal fighting, he was kidnapped and held for months simply because he is an infidel.
Yet I've yet to read a word from him condemning his kidnappers, except to imply that Israel drives them to it.
