I'm sure you know far better than actual Gazans. If only they realised westerners with saviour complexes knew what was best for them 🤣
'Hamas keeps losing Gazans! Thousands of women, children, and men, of all ages, in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, came out today in anti-Hamas, pro-peace, anti-war protests in which they condemned the terror organization, called for its departure from Gaza and power, expressed pro-peace sentiments and made it clear that they value dignity and life more than martyrdom and death cultism.
In the first clip, a woman says, “We want peace, and condemn terrorism in all of its forms, and want to live like everyone else in the world, in dignity and to be protected from war, death, and annihilation.”
In the second clip, people chant, “for god’s sake, Hamas, get out!” and “We want to live.”
In the third clip, a mother is asking, “Do you really think we are working to raise our children so that they die? No, we raise our children so that they can live.” Critically, she further stresses that, “we are a people that don’t want to live on handouts and aid; we are educated and don’t want incoming and outgoing delegations.” She says that Gazans don’t want to be “beggars but want to be living in dignity like others around the world.”
In the fourth clip, children describe how they yearn for peace and a future that does not entail displacement, homelessness, and don’t want to grow up in war and destruction which Hamas is death cultism has brought upon the Palestinian people in the coastal enclave,” and want to live instead in ‘love and security.’ She discusses her desire for peace and how it is not a sign of weakness.
In the fifth and final clip, children and their mothers chant loudly, “out, out with Hamas, and leave us alone, oh Hamas!”
This is what I mentioned last week as something that I believe is about to become a regular occurrence, as the people of Gaza have had enough of Hamas’s vile and evil terrorism.
The problem is that no one wants to believe that Palestinians in the Strip are capable of independent thought, and to be against Hamas. I was speaking with a group of high-level former US officials about the anti-Hamas protests and the need to back up the local population in their pursuits, to which I was casually told, ‘Don’t expect much to come out of these occurrences.’ This is not to mention the complete blackout by the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex led by the likes of SJP, Mehdi Hasan, Middle East Eye, and all sorts of vloggers and so-called “journalists” in Gaza and beyond whose existence strictly revolves around anti-Israel content.
To me, and anyone with a functioning braincell, these anti-Hamas protestors should be viewed as the ultimate embodiment of real and authentic pro-Palestine sentiments, not Jihadi, pro-terror cosplay that is now the mainstream in the so called, “pro-Palestine” movement in the Western world. It is ironic that there are genuinely and sincerely far more pro-Hamas voices in the United States and Europe than there are in Gaza.
Support the actual freedom fighters of Gaza who are risking it all to make their truly independent voice heard against all odds. Long live the anti-Hamas innocent civilians of the Strip!' Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib
