The violent clashes now erupting between Hamas and Gaza’s major clans expose a grim reality — Gaza is run less like a society and more like a Mafia network. 

The methods Hamas is using in its mini–civil war against the powerful Doghmush clan are indeed brutal and repugnant, yet the Doghmush themselves are hardly innocent. 

Their record of corruption, intimidation, and violence mirrors Hamas’s own, showing that Gaza’s struggle is not one of justice or freedom, but a ruthless battle for control.
