Today I spoke with Mazen, one of the founders of the facebook page for the Preparatory Commission for the Revolution of Dignity in Gaza. The Revolution of Dignity opposes the Hamas-led government in Gaza, aims for Palestinian unity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and calls for immediate parliamentary and presidential democratic elections for the Palestinian Authority. The Revolution's facebook page was shut down two days ago and was subsequently republished under a different name. Mazen hopes the Revolution will spur tens of thousands of Gazans to take to the streets in the coming weeks once further preparations are completed. He says that the revolution in Tunisia and the popular demonstrations in Egypt sparked him to action.
