“ The demonstrations, which broke out in late March, represented the boldest challenge to Hamas in years and underscored the desperation among Palestinians in Gaza to end the war. The protests have now largely petered out, with Gazans attributing the decline to Hamas pressure and the preoccupation of the enclave’s besieged residents with searching for food and fleeing Israeli strikes and evacuation orders.
The protests, which were also against the war, took many Gazans by surprise, given that Hamas regularly clamps down on dissent.”
Protests in to Beit Lahia, Khan Younis, Jabalya and other cities, had marching men yelled, “Hamas out” and called for an end to the war.
“Gaza residents have said that . “Human loss doesn’t mean anything to Hamas.”
While protesters made clear their demand that Israel end its “genocide” against the Palestinians, the anti-Hamas sentiment that surfaced was the biggest indicator yet of the public’s growing dissatisfaction with the militant group and its handling of the war.
“The people of Gaza are the last thing they care about,” said Areej Ahmed, 30, a Gaza City resident.”
Much like Trump is doing to protesters against the war, Hamas is looking for the protesters and have given them threatening phone calls and summons to Hamas office. Obviously Hamas can’t kick them out of a country that doesn’t exist but they can have them killed.
In local media, anonymous Hamas officials branded the protesters as collaborators with Israel. Just like Trump brands the protesters here as antisemitic. So much in common.
