If the Arab Spring comes to Gaza, you might have to come to terms with Gazans fighting and killing your beloved Hamas.

Apparently the 'world's biggest prison' is doing well enough so that a budding middle class has re emerged after several years. And they are increasingly angry at Hamas.
From news article:“Hamas has become rich at the expense of the people,” fumed a 22-year-old seamstress, Nisrine, as she stitched decorative applique onto a dress. She wouldn’t disclose her family name, not wanting to be seen criticizing the militant group.
Gaza’s Hamas government denies its loyalists have gotten wealthy since the group came to power.
Corruption “doesn’t touch us,” said Hamas official Yusef Rizka.
But others — even those close to Hamas — say the militant group must pay attention.
“There is a nouveau riche that has followed the rise of the government,” said Alaa Araj, a former Gaza economic minister and businessman considered close to Hamas. “We must sound the alarm,” he said. “(Resentment) is growing in Gaza.”
WaPo's Jew bashing gene kicks in though and most of the article is the about the poor of Gaza and the mean things the Jews do to oppress them. None the less, a civil war in Gaza? Sounds like a plan to me.
