Oh, sure, now that they’ve seen areas of Gaza destroyed after losing a war Hamas started, with the majority having supported Hamas, they want peace. I bet most in Berlin also wanted peace after the Allies bombed it back to the stone age, too
Gazan Palestinians rejecting Hamas and Iran, want peace, Abbas advisor says
Palestinians did not want October 7 and are now interested more in security than they are in fighting Israel or serving Iran’s interests in the region, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, an advisor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, said on Thursday, Palestinian Media Watch reported.
Palestinian Media Watch is an Israeli NGO that says it monitors material in Palestinian media that promotes hatred and terrorism in order to expose and educate on such content.
“The Palestinian people did not want October 7, and it was not consulted with about Oct. 7,” Al-Habbash said. “And now it wants a ceasefire and for the aggression to stop.”
Well, they’re certainly saying that they didn’t want 10/7 because Gaza is decimated and scores have been killed, yet, what did they do for all the years that Hamas was in charge of Gaza? When they were stockpiling arms in hospitals, mosques, and schools? When they were turning pipes for water into rockets? When they were launching random attacks on Israel, and, especially civilians? What were they doing when Hamas was embedding around their homes and such? Not a damned thing, because most did support Hamas. Most are Jew and Israel haters.
While recent polling published by the Palestinian Center for Survey and Policy Research has shown that belief among Palestinians that it was the correct decision for Hamas to launch its October 7 attacks on Israel is down slightly from December and March, two-thirds still believe it was the correct decision.
Further, according to the same poll, nearly two-thirds of Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip would prefer to see Hamas in control of Gaza.
Scarecrow played with fire and got burned.
On Thursday, the BBC reported that residents of Gaza have told the British broadcaster that it had become common to hear swearing and cursing against Hamas in the marketplaces of the Strip.
“This is the Palestinian people,” Al-Habbash continued, “And if they [Hamas] want to imagine that there is another people, let them ask the Palestinian people. Let them ask the 2.5 million in the Gaza Strip what they want…. Do they want October 7? Do they want Iran? Do they want the interests of the region? Or do they want to save their children’s lives?”
And what will happen when the war ends and Gaza is rebuilt? If not Hamas, the Gazans will surely back some other Muslim terrorist group, as they’ve done for over 50 years. They’ve been raised as radical Muslims, and will continue to be raised as such. They bow to the extremist leaders, including within the religious community. It originates out of mosques and madrassas. So, really, Gazans will have to prove that they are done with terrorism.
