Iran's notorious hanging cranes.Hamas run gaza is to do away with its Zionist (Israeli) military law that, they say offers leniency to convicted drug dealers. No doubt guns are not the only things coming through those tunnels - also it seems a considerable amount of weed!
The Hamas-run government ruling Gaza has approved a legal change that will allow for the execution of convicted drug dealers, its attorney general said on Monday.
"The government has approved a decision to cancel the Zionist (Israeli) military law with regard to drugs and enact Egyptian law 19 of 1962," Mohammed Abed, the attorney general, said in a statement.
"The latter law is more comprehensive in terms of crime and criminals and the penalties more advanced, including life sentences and execution."
Egypt administered the Gaza Strip from 1948 until 1967, when Israel occupied the territory in the Six-Day War along with the Sinai peninsula, the Golan Heights, the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
"The Zionist law included light punishments that encouraged rather than deterred those who take and trade in drugs, and there is no objective, national or moral justification for continuing to apply it," Abed said.
Hamas has cracked down on drugs, saying it has arrested more than 100 alleged drug dealers and users, with dozens of kilogrammes (pounds) of contraband, mostly marijuana, seized.
Abed said the Egyptian law on drugs would remain in effect until a new law could be passed by the Palestinian parliament, whose most of members were in Israel jails, so have met only rarely since elections were held in 2006.

In 1948 Egypt and Jordan illegally militarily occupied Palestine the country created in 1918 as the Jewish Homeland and State. Jordan annexed the West Bank and East Jerusalem after expelling it's Jews and the Jewish majority of East Jerusalem. Jewish property and land were confiscated and it's 57 Synagogues burnt to the ground. The Arabs of the West Bank and East Jerusalem became citizens of Jordan and many refugees were assimilated. Nasser wanted Gaza as a base to create his fascist Pan Arab Empire. Gaza was isolated and kept under curfew from 9pm till 7am. The Jews were expelled and their land and property confiscated. The Laws Hamas is referring to is British Common Law from the Mandate period the basis of all Israeli Law.
According to the importance of precedence and continuity of International Law and the fact that the 1939 British White Paper is illegal and there for UN partition, in addition declared null and void by the Arab States. Palestine and Jerusalem are Jewish land based on the Paris and SanRemo treaties, the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement, the Balfour Treaty that also created all the Arab States, and Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations all which are living law. All Arab claims are based on illegal military aggression and occupation from 1948 to 1967.
