It’s not exactly “Gazans for Israel’s right to exist,” but it’s something

The New Neo Posted on by

I believe this may just reflect the desire for a pause in the fighting so they can destroy Israel another day. Nevertheless, this is interesting. although the group is small:

By the way, I’m puzzled by people who say that if Hamas returns the hostages the war ends. Israel can’t afford to do that; Hamas has shown its hand.

  3. If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more more war. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel

    Netanyahu famously said that. Has anyone ever heard it seriously refuted?

    Anyway, this could be for real. There have to be some. I like to think it’s a sign that Hamas is no longer in functional control of the populace. But I know that’s likely wishful thinking.

  4. This demonstration must have been orchestrated by Hamas.
    By doing so it gives Hamas an excuse, a rationale to “yield” to Israeli demands.

    Not that Hamas is ready to do this just yet, but they are just laying the groundwork in the event they are compelled to yield. It gives them the option of saying, “we are following the wishes of our people.”
    It’s just a way for them to save face.

  6. There has been some evidence that Palestinians in Gaza think the Hamas leadership screwed up with the 10/7 attacks, and left the Gazan holding the bag. Doesn’t mean these Palestinians don’t think Israel should be destroyed. But they’re not happy with their leadership.

    So I’m inclined to think this is a legit protest.

  8. If three months ago the Gazans had released all the hostages and surrendered all the participants in the 10/07 raid, with a bonus of the heads of the raid planners and organizers, it would have been a good basis for peace negotiations. After this long a delay, even that would not be enough to demonstrate the good faith needed for actual negotiations.

  9. fastrichard:

    If they were even close to being able to do such a thing, 10/7 wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

  10. Well the leadership was in qatar the nukba was training in lebanon there were other maneuvers that werent immediately apparent

  11. “This demonstration must have been orchestrated by Hamas.
    By doing so it gives Hamas an excuse, a rationale to “yield” to Israeli demands.”

    Exactly my first thought. I suspect there aren’t many actual protests against Hamas in Gaza, or anywhere else they rule! Probably not conducive to a long life.

  13. And the other 55?

    In any event, we’ll just segue into this charming notice (bon appetit!):

    https://www.nationalreview.com/news/jordanian-town-unveils-october-7-restaurant-appearing-to-commemorate-hamas-atrocities/

    To be sure, the restaurant is not so much commemorating “Hamas Atrocities” as the tremendous and “exhilirating” Hamas “Victory”.

    …which kinda makes one wonder why exactly Hamas supporters are demanding a cease-fire…

    Around 700 Palestinians stormed Barad’s kibbutz of Nir Oz—less than a five-minute drive from Gaza—that day, CCTV footage shows. The overwhelming majority of those, estimated by Eran Smilansky, a member of the kibbutz’s security squad, to be around 550, were civilians. They were largely unarmed and not in uniform. Some of those civilians carried out wholesale acts of terror themselves, including rape and abduction—and in some cases, the eventual sale of hostages to Hamas—while others abetted the terrorists. Others still simply took advantage of the porous border to loot Israeli homes and farms, including stealing hundreds of thousands of shekels in agricultural equipment.
