Many Gazans who grumbled about Hamas’ corruption and mismanagement have now chosen to overlook all that and instead to rally round those who raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1200 innocent Israelis. Those atrocities have made Hamas much more popular among Palestinians both in Gaza and in the West Bank. More can be found here: “The Palestinian economy has lost billions since October 7, yet no one is protesting for Hamas to return the captives,” Elder of Ziyon, December 29, 2023:
There are no doubt individuals who are not happy about their wellbeing being affected by Hamas deciding that killing Jews is more important than Palestinian lives and livelihoods. But you won’t hear about any of them, because every Palestinian knows that they must show unity with their leaders, and the West Bank leaders know they must show solidarity with whatever Hamas is doing. Any public disagreement is regarded as a source of shame….
Supporting Hamas killing Jews is, bizarrely, considered honorable. It is far more honorable than having jobs or paying for food and living expenses….
UNRWA will take care of almost all of the”Palestinian refugees” needs in Gaza as in the West Bank and in “Palestinian refugee camps” elsewhere in the Middle East. UNRWA provides housing, medical care, education, food, unemployment benefits (without any record of her being gainfully employed), and family allowances to those claiming “refugee status” which includes anyone who has at least one Palestinian ancestor, somewhere in the family tree.
Remember this. Hamas was deeply unpopular in Gaza before October 7. 67% of Gazans wanted an end to its dictatorial rule because of its corruption, its cruelty, its mismanagement, its colossal expenditures on its network of elaborate tunnels dug into the deep-delvèd earth. But on October 7, because of the “great deeds” committed by Hamas at the music rave and at the kibbutzim overrun by its operatives — the babies beheaded, the children burned alive, the young girls gang-raped, tortured, murdered, the women whose breasts were sliced off, the men whose eyes were gouged out and genitalia cut off, the children murdered in front of their parents and parents murdered in front of their children — these atrocities were known to the people of Gaza, because those who committed them boasted about them, and showed off the female hostages, held in the back of pickup trucks that drove at a snail’s pace through crowds, so that “innocent civilians” could beat the half-naked girls as they passed. The Hamas killers boasted to friends and families: “Mom, I killed ten Jews with my own hands!,” one murderer proudly announced when he phoned home. These act did not appall Gazans, but made them proud. Those “innocent civilians” passed out candy and pastries. If female, they ululated their pleasure. If men, they allahu-akbared as their paladins returned, bringing with them 240 hostages, from six-month-old babies to grandmothers in their eighties.
In a few months, when Hamas has been destroyed, and so much of Gaza will lie in ruins, how do the Gazans hope to put back together their economy? Israel is not going to renew its guest-worker policy for people from Gaza. Will the Gazans try to recover the eleven billion dollars that Khaled Meshaal, Mousa Abu Marzouk, and Ismail Haniyeh stole, from the general purse? Could the people of Gaza demand that the three be handed over to them by the Emir of Qatar, who has given the three leaders refuge for many years, or if they have now left Qatar and found refuge elsewhere, ask for their expatriation from the countries now hosting them? If their request is ignored, then the Gazans could ask the Arab League to intervene so that the three Hamas leaders can be expelled, and returned to a transitional government in Gaza consisting of technocrats, so that the three will be forced, under pain of death, to disgorge the fantastic sums they stole to the people of Gaza? That money should be used to start the rebuilding of Gaza, now that it will have been emptied of Hamas operatives, their weapons, and their tunnels. And if it goes well, if these disgorged billions are spent wisely, that should encourage more spending on reconstruction in the Strip by the rich Arab states of the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and even Qatar, its Emir making amends for his country’s previous support for the Hamas leaders who did such harm to the people of Gaza.

Anyone who supports the behaviour of the hamas scum of the earth after the recent atrocities committed in israel has to be an evil, barbaric, knuckle dragging piece of shit and that includes all those leftists in western countries who seem to feel quite happy with the behaviour of the hamas vermin along with all the Muslim scum who support hamas..
carpediadem says
And those in the UN and UNRWA.
tim gallagher says
I would definitely include them, carpediadem. What scum they are at the UN. They are supporters of the vermin from hamas without a doubt. The UN seems to be a place full of evil poisonous creatures, a nest of vipers though I guess that image is unfair to snakes which are a better type of creature than many at the UN.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Israel would be fully justified in evicting all those Palis from Gaza. Maybe involuntarily fly them to Qatar, w/ the acquiescence of Riyadh and Cairo, and put a price tag on Qatar’s support for the muslim brotherhood
Mike says
And leaders in the United States and Canada and Europe and Australia are thinking of importing many of these Palestinians as refugees? What could possibly go wrong? Perish the thought!

That those horrendously evil and murderous Islamic terror attacks on October 7th 2023 by the jihadists of Hamas have actually increased the popularity in the view of many “Palestinians. Than before that terrible day.
Since that diabolical jihad organization, Hamas, is now more favored than before 10/7 among so many Arab/Muslim who call themselves “Palestinian,’ this reveals how the demonic false religion of Islam is able to induce malice and hate – filled vicious hearts and mind in followers.
Such Muslim spitefulness and malevolence is one of the hideously wicked fruits of Islam.
Jesus taught, “By their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7: 20. [N.K.J.V]
As for Hamas being now so popular that it is or ,at least almost praised by those Muslims for committing all those deadly and heinous vile atrocities is a very clear reminder that the Bible informs its reader “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such a keep the law contend with them.’
Proverbs 28:4.
Walter Sieruk says
One thing is for sure, which is that the Divine blessing that Jesus declared in Matthew 5:9 doesn’t apply to the violent bloodthirsty vicious warmongers who the the jihadists of Hamas .
For Jesus taught “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
Therefore the, Hamas jihadists definitely aren’t , according to the Wisdom of Jesus, definitely are not “Blessed ” by God , neither is it appropriate to call them “sons of God.”
In contrast ,it’s very fitting to call them “sons of Satan.”
abu taleb says
> But you won’t hear about any of them, because every Palestinian knows that they must show unity with their leaders
Every Palestinian and muslim must show unity with Islam, and Hamas is doing exactly what Islam wants, so supporting Hamas is the same as supporting Islam.
What we should realize it the true evil of Islam which is the core of Hamas, ISIS, Boko Haram etc, fighting Hamas without fighting Islam doesn’t give permanent result.
OLD GUY says
Palestinians a vary sick society driven by Islam.
