Bucking Hamas intimidation, Gazans hold 3rd straight day of rallies against terror group

There are a half dozen tweets at the link with various videos of the protests. Separately, I saw a meme yesterday, something to the effect that: During the Nazi era there were Germans who rescued Jews. But in Gaza not one Arab has rescued a single Jew. I understand that the some Gazans would very much like to get rid of Hamas and end the war. But until they do something to free the captives held in durance very vile or turn in those involved in the 10/7 invasion, I’m afraid I have no sympathy — it is nothing more than a demand for a consequence-free end to their own discomfort. [IsraelTimes] Hundreds — if not thousands — attend protests throughout Strip, as Hamas warns participants that they’ll be treated as Israel collaborators
Hundreds out of a population of somewhere above 1 million… Protests against Hamas

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
for a third consecutive day on Thursday, with participants putting themselves at risk after the terror group warned the public against taking part in such demonstrations.
Footage from the various protests showed hundreds — if not thousands — of Paleostinians marching through the ruins of Gaza, shouting against the terror group. The rallies took place in northern Gaza’s Jabalya and Beit Lahiya in the central Strip’s Gaza City along with other locations.
Chants and signs heard at Thursday rallies included the slogans, "Hamas out," "Al Jazeera out," "Hamas are terrorists" and "The people want to overthrow Hamas."
Demonstrators also called for an end to the war and Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, which has taken the lives of roughly 50,000 Paleostinians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.
At some of these rallies, masked men holding batons were filmed looking on. Supporters of the demonstrations said these men were Hamas operatives seeking to intimidate those protesting. Several participants posted on social media that they received death threats from Hamas members who warned them not to attend such rallies again.
Earlier Thursday, Hamas issued a joint statement with other Gaza terror groups warning that those participating in the protests would be treated as Israel collaborators — a group that is stomped out brutally by Hamas.
While the protests were still relatively small, the fact that they have not relented amid Hamas intimidation indicated that the phenomenon was gaining momentum.
Another round of protests was also scheduled for Friday, according to social media posts from organizers.
Hamas has violent mostly peacefully cracked down on previous protests in the past. This week, though, there has been no outright intervention, which some see as a sign of the terror group’s waning power. The group’s armed personnel are also thought to be keeping a low profile since Israel resumed military action in Gaza earlier this month following the two-month ceasefire.
Protests are relatively rare events in Gaza, especially against Hamas, which has maintained an iron grip on the Strip since it violent mostly peacefully ousted the Paleostinian Authority from the territory in 2007.
While there have been more public statements by individuals in Gaza against Hamas rule since the war started, large-scale demonstrations against the group have been almost nonexistent.
The last documented protest in the Strip against Hamas took place in January 2024, when Paleostinians in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis called for an end to the war, the end of the terror group’s rule over Gaza, and the release of the Israeli hostages.
Before the war, anti-Hamas protests were also relatively rare events and were often suppressed violent mostly peacefully by the terror group.
Israel has vowed to escalate the war until Hamas returns the 59 hostages it still holds — 24 of them believed to be alive. Israel is also demanding that the group give up power, disarm, and send its leaders into exile.
Hamas has said it will only release the remaining captives in exchange for Paleostinian prisoners, a complete end to war, and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Hamas won a landslide victory in Gaza in the last Paleostinian elections, held in 2006. It seized power in Gaza from the PA, which is based in the West Bank and dominated by the secular Fatah movement, the following year after months of factional unrest and a week of heavy street battles.
Rights groups say both the Paleostinian Authority and Hamas violent mostly peacefully suppress dissent, quashing protests in the areas they control and jailing and torturing critics.
