Hundreds of Gazans march in rare anti-Hamas protest
-
Just a reminder that Israel already left willingly in the past.
That's a long debunked Hasbara talking point.
-
Hammas and Netanyahu need each other to survive. Give them both the boot.
This is like saying cancer and the chemo therapy need each other.

It seems the majority of people here actually believe that without Hamas Israel would just stop invading and pull out. This might have been wishful thinking a while ago, but right now this is called delusion, as we've seen what happens when you tell Israel you won't attack and are willing to cooperate for the benefit of both sides (Syria and Lebanon).
Without military resistance Palestine would not exist. Israel has always been clear about their intention to wipe out all of Palestine. There was never a moment where Palestinians could stop Israel from invading in any other way than fighting back.

So that Israel can fullfill their genocidal dreams uncontested? Just look at the Westbank to see how a complicit government sucking up to Israel is just helping in slaughtering and ethnically cleansing its own population.
Also it is worrying how the problem is shifted from the genocider to the the people who resisted the genocide. "Stop punching yourself"
Hamas has done a great job protecting Gazans so far.

Israel has made it abundantly clear, that they would like to murder every Palestinian in Gaza. The fact that only about 10% have been murdered by Israel so far is a great success in these circumstances.
By your logic you would have demanded Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt to be kicked out of power because they didn't manage to stop the Nazis earlier. The only ones who would have benefited from this would have been the Nazis.
Same goes for Israel and Hamas now. Why do you think JPost, a deeply convinced Zionist Imperialist rag is celebrating these demonstrations and blowing them out of proportion? Because they want Hamas to be out of the way so Israel can conclude the genocide uncontested.

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.
I hope Israel listens to them and return to ceasefire but they wont. Israel never want to give Palestianians their human rights and lands. Israel wants to continue being the colonizing genocidal aparthied it is.
These poor Gazans upmost demand is to be another West Bank for Israel to occuoy, ethnic cleanse, and expand its settlements in. The West Bank did not take hostages and no there is no Hamas in charge. Yet they are getting killed and their lands stolen and treated like 3rd-class citizens in aparthied Israel everyday.

Here's hoping these protests become a daily occurrence and they're finally able to give Hamas the boot.

In one occasion, the israeli blown 23 residential buildings to kill one "hamas operative". Not a high-up or anything, just a regular shmug. 23 residential buildings.
Maybe quit blaming the victims.

Carrying flags of surrender, blaming only Hamas for the genocide being conducted by the IOF, calling for the release of Israeli but not Palestinian hostages, and specifically trying to keep the press out of hospitals?
Yeah, this has Mossad false flag op written all over it..
Typical jpost hasbara.

There certainly are Israelis who want to listen. But unfortunately Netanyahu does not.

The protests were for peace and an end to the genocide. A few people screamed slogans against Hamas and now the entire thing is framed as "anti Hamas protests".
No surprise the Israeli media gladly runs this dishonest story to blame Israel starving Palestinians on Hamas.
But it does destroy their own narrative that "if only the Palestinians protested against Hamas they would get food".

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.

There certainly are Israelis who want to listen.
They are, however, a very small minority. Most Israelis don't want peace with Palestinians at all.

Do you have data that backs that up? Because I think most Israelis do want peace, if that means they no longer get attacked.

Look up "Tel Aviv University peace index". It's a survey done every three months by Tel Aviv University measuring attitudes in Israel towards peace, and since October 7th they've had questions about the war. Prepare to lose some faith in humanity, however.

No surprises there. It mostly shows that Israelis do not trust the Palestinian Authority, and who can blame them?
There's a lot of bad blood between them, but that does not mean they do not ultimately want a peaceful solution.

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.

Did you click on the press release link? The findings PDF has more surveys with more details. For example, you'll find that (pages 3-5) only 19% of Israeli Jewish respondents support a two-state solution, while only 7% support a one-state solution. Meanwhile 37% support "Annexation of the occupied territories and the creation of one state under Israeli rule with limited
rights for Palestinians" and 25% support continuing the status quo. These are four separate questions, in case you're wondering why these don't add up to a hundred. For more despair juice, 47.4% of Jewish respondents support the creation of settlements in Gaza after the war. That's a majority if you don't count the 12.6% I don't know responses (page 7). I could go on. See what I mean? It's a full 11 pages of questions asking "do you want peace" and Israeli Jews answering "no". I don't think it's possible to read this and still think Israel will ever choose peace willingly. -

I seriously can't tell if you're bring sarcastic or not.
