"Ramallah residents Thursday dismissed the possibility of Hamas taking over the West Bank. In Gaza, "there are tribes and clans like in the Jahiliyyah [pre-Islam] era," said one, Qassem. "Here, in the West Bank, we're more civilized, educated. It's a different nation, not like in Gaza."" Now it is not unusual that the colonized internalizes the racism of the colonizers, but the Israeli newspaper needs to cite a source for this. "A Ramallah resident" does not do it for me, unless the Ramallah resident here is an Israeli occupation soldier. (thanks F.)
