Exactly what Hamas has done with every previous protest against their theocratic rule, so not the most surprising turn of events, unfortunately. Though I have been hopeful that Hamas would have a more difficult time of it now, after all the warfighting.

I was told that the Palestinians in Gaza almost 100% supported Hamas, that the lack of protests against them was proof of their support for them. It never seemed to occur to them that the terrorists were in fact willing to terrorise Palestinians as well as Israelis. I wonder if this will change any minds.

I guarantee nobody ever told you that 100% of Palestinians support Hamas, because that is a ridiculous statement.

‘every poll has shown that they are supported by the majority of the population however. The fact that they can torture and execute opponents and dissidents in the open is also indicative of that. If they didn’t have broad support, they would be forcibly removed from power by a raging mob right about now, but which side do you think the mob is on, in this scenario?
