Ghassan Duhine, the deputy of an anti-Hamas resistance group in the Gaza Strip issued a Rosh Hashanah statement on social media.
The deputy head of the Abu Shabab militia in the Gaza Strip, wished the Jewish people a happy New Year in a social media post on Sunday. The post included a handwritten note in Hebrew seen by The Jerusalem Post.
Duhine extended "sincere congratulations to our Arab Jews, especially, to the Jewish people in general, and all those who celebrate this holiday around the world."
Several Hamas supporters took to social media to express disapproval of Duhine's statement. They accused Duhine of being a "traitor to his homeland and religion" and a lackey of "his Zionist masters." Some pro-Hamas activists issued death threats, wishing Duhine to be "dragged through the streets of Gaza" paired with images a red crosshairs target overlaid on Duhine's face.
Abu Shabab, named for their leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, is an anti-Hamas, Israel-aligned resistance group operating within the enclave.
The armed group's stated goal is "to meet the need for civilian protection, humanitarian aid distribution, and securing areas that will not fall victim to terror or local extremism," according to Yasser Abu Shabab himself in a conversation with Walla, "we will protect civilians, create international pressure, and push for an end to the violence that no one wants to escalate."
As Israel's offensive in Gaza City proceeds and Hamas appears to be weakening, it has been reported that Abu Shabab forces have actively engaged in combat against Hamas terrorists.
How many percent of today’s Gazan population think similarly is the big question.
And this is exactly why Hamas is now engaging in a murder spree against any Gaza resident who could be considered remotely willing to work with Israel to rebuild Gaza.
Hamas has been weakened.
They need the show of force, to keep in power.
After they won the election in 2006, they never held any election since.
Like all socialists.
One man, one vote, one time.
>> How many percent of today’s Gazan population think similarly is the big question.
Good question. Join me in praying for a preference cascade of such sane Gazans!
‘How many percent of today’s Gazan population think similarly is the big question. ’
Hopefully more than we realize.
More than 0%, which is awesome. Irritating to see Gaza civilians celebrating the death of Jews by giving out candy. Good to know there are a few who think otherwise.
