In a rare event in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, hundreds of Gazan citizens marched in the northern town of Beit Lahiya carrying white flags, calling to end the Hamas rule, and even calling to hand over the Israeli hostages.
The protests took place in front of the Indonesian Hospital in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. One protester who filmed the events questioned where Qatari Al Jazeera and its Gaza correspondent Anas al-Sharif are, implicitly referring to the channel’s no criticism of Hamas policy.
people are demanding the press to cover these events!” he said. “People are demanding freedom, they’re demanding a halt to the hostilities against Gaza, they’re demanding peace and an end to this war.” One of them said, “The press entered the hospital so as to not document this event.”
Slogans shouted in the protest included “Out out out! Hamas out!” and “Where is the press?” and “We want to live!” Signs held by protesters included slogans such as “We refuse to be the ones who die” and “Stop the war.”
Another video showed hundreds of marchers walking in the streets of Beit Lahiya, with the cameraman saying: “Large crowds are protesting now against the rule of Hamas. The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. The people here are calling to free the prisoners so we can remain alive,” possibly referring to the remaining Israeli hostages.
Hopefully they’re able to give Israel the boot.
Hammas and Netanyahu need each other to survive. Give them both the boot.
There is no Hamas without Israel.
Sadly there is an Israel without Hamas.
Get rid of Israel and both go away.
Netanyahu will just go to war with the next countries. See the Israeli invasion of Syria, see their invasion of Lebanon, see their plans to create a greater Israel requiring to go to war and annihilate all surrounding countries and hundreds of millions of people.
Hitler didn’t stop when Austria and Czechoslovakia where handed to him on a silver plate. Neither will Netanyahu or the other Fascists stop.
This is like saying cancer and the chemo therapy need each other.
Just a reminder that Israel already left willingly in the past.
They blockaded all of Gaza and destroyed the only airport in Gaza with bombs.
They wouldn’t allow construction materials in. Limited lumber, steel, concrete, glass.
In order to leave Gaza, Palestinians needed to apply for a special ID with the Israeli government and needed a “valid reason” which essentially only meant leaving for business.
Israeli supreme court ruled in early 2000s that Gazans did not have the right to visit West Bank.
Not even if they left through Egypt, flew to Jordan, and tried to enter from Jordan. They would be denied entry.
Gaza and West Bank are part of the same country. Yet they did not have the right to visit family in their country.
Virtually all legitimate organizations, including the EU and the UN considered Gaza to be occupied during the blockade.
Israel never left. Stop spreading propaganda online. Israel never gave up control of Gaza. They controlled what went in, they controlled what came out. They controlled what buildings can be built and which buildings would be destroyed by bombs. They controlled where Gazans could fish and they controlled what items were considered “legitimate”
That’s a long debunked Hasbara talking point.
Uh what… Why do you think Israel is able to block aid to Gaza, and stop their power, trash, food, water intake, and ability to travel?
It’s because they never left. They’ve always been occupiers who have controlled their territory.
And control gazans water, literally claim any water even rain water, and their ability to build anything.
Zios are still very much in Palestine. Never left.
Is this what Israel leaving looks like? wow…
Hub, I wonder what happened that made them come back?
Try ‘murdering and kidnapping hundreds of Israeli citizens’ for a start.
Nothing feeds extreme islam like blowing people’s loved ones into pieces in front of their eyes and destroying their livelihoods. So they sure know how to make this perpetuate.
That was before Netanyahu brought the far right into power, and before the US gave said far right a blank cheque for ethnic cleansing (and that’s the charitable way of phrasing that).
Sadly the current Israeli government isn’t likely to leave willingly. Certainly not while they have the full backing of the US.
Every Israeli government since its inception has been in favor of ethnic cleansing.
They only saw what Netanyahu is doing as an inconvenient way because it would wake up the world and see the monster that is Israel for what it really is.
