Hamas facing growing dissent in Gaza
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/7/24 | Itzik Brandwein

The criticism of Hamas by residents of the Gaza Strip is increasing...

BBC published a video of a man injured as a result of the rescue operation of the four hostages in Operation Arnon, saying: “I’m one of you, but you are a cowardly people. We could have avoided this attack!”

It was also noted that the criticism after Operation Arnon increased especially regarding the concealment of hostages within the civilian population in general and in crowded places in particular.

Residents of the Gaza Strip said that they encounter more and more curses and insults against Hamas leaders on the streets, with some donkey owners in the Strip deciding as a protest to name the animals in their possession after Yahya Sinwar.

“People say things like, ‘Hamas has destroyed us’ or even call on God to take their lives,” said a resident of the Strip.

Another resident said: “They ask what the 7 October attacks were for - some say they were a gift to Israel.”

An anonymous Hamas worker told BBC: “I know from my work with the Hamas government that it prepared well for the attack militarily, but it neglected the home front. They did not build any safe shelters for people, they did not reserve enough food, fuel and medical supplies. If my family and I survive this war, I will leave Gaza, the first chance I get.”

At the same time, the report noted that public support for Hamas in Gaza is still very strong, and most blame Israel for their situation, but the voices expressing opposition to Hamas, both publicly and privately, are increasing.

Of course there were no preparations for the civilians. Hamas wants civilian casualties. The more the merrier.

It is insane that there is sympathy for Hamas in the US and West today.

Insane!

They attacked 7 October in what truly was unprovoked, they take hostages, they are behind terror attacks in the past, their ideology is violent, extremist and racist. They do not support a democratic system, free speech, human rights. They are not interested in peace or a long term solution to the conflict unless that involves the destruction of Israel. Negotiating with them is never sincere, only a means to gain time in order to achieve a tactical advantage.

https://www.voice.wales/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/53257848399_171d68a388_k.jpg. Do these fools protesting actually know who they are supporting and what these people are really demanding?

It not similar to the growing dissent in the democrat party?
Cause they don’t really want real change. Just a different figure head that can speak in complete sentences and sell abortion and other things destructive to the American way of life.

The Democrat Party is an amalgam of diverse radical left wing agendas that can and won’t ever agree on a candidate to replace Biden.

There simply is not enough time left to prepare and pay all the necessary bribes necessary to achieve consensus

“...curses and insults against Hamas leaders...”

Sure thing, idiots, that’ll fix your problem.

The hostages are still being held, probably in tunnels.

Perhaps the hostages could be made US citizens and laws passed to permit their particular captors to be tried and put to death in the US if one is killed.

Israel doesn’t use the death penalty.

As of now, for their captors, a POW cage and a prison cell look alike.

It’s a step towards fixing the problem. If they curse Hamas, and name their donkeys “Sinwar,” sooner or later, probably later than we’d like, they will turn on the real Sinwar. In the mean time, the war goes on. The Northern front is seeing more action. South is still lively.

Israel could open up a corridor to let the children under five feet tall and women get to the West Bank.

Has the DNC’s Hamas wing been told of this?

Right now, the Arabs in Judah and Samariah have been shut out of work in the yishuvim for six months. They just opened up Efrat for work, and there was a flood of job seekers. I don’t think those poor people have the resources to accommodate refugees. Egypt does. The UN does. But the latter are a@@-holes and pedophiles, and the former is unlikely to come forward.

Oh please. It’s not because of what Hamas did, it’s because of the consequences.

And that’s the only way to turn the Gazans against their overlords. Consequences, and the fact that they steal food and water from them.

They might want to get rid of Hamas, but they still hanker after “from the river to the sea.”
