PalArab fun and games

No matter what part of the world you look at, people are all the same. They just want to kick back and have fun, like anyone else. It would be highly insensitive to demean others just because their cultural mores are somewhat different.

Cops and robbers is fun no matter which part of the world you live in. In Gaza, it's known as "Cops and Cops." Here is one participant and his adult pals, who are nice enough to use real guns to add authenticity. (And in the background are some kids playing "Capture the Flag.")
