It troubles me that this is even an issue anymore.
But since it is, here are some quotes collected from Gazans – very, very brave ones – collected by Mudar Zahran, a Palestinian from Jordan* who fled to the UK so he could dare to write the material that would get him a summary execution if hamas got their hands on him:
“IfHamas does not like you for any reason all they have to do now is sayyou are a Mossad agent and kill you.” – A., a Fatah member inGaza.
“Hamaswanted us butchered so it could win the media war against Israelshowing our dead children on TV and then get money from Qatar.”- T., former Hamas Ministry officer.
“Theywould fire rockets and then run away quickly, leaving us to faceIsraeli bombs for what they did.” – D., Gazan journalist.
“Hamasimposed a curfew: anyone walking out in the street was shot. That waypeople had to stay in their homes, even if they were about toget bombed. Hamas held the whole Gazan population as a human shield.”- K., graduate student
“TheIsraeli army allows supplies to come in and Hamas steals them. Itseems even the Israelis care for us more than Hamas.” – E.,first-aid volunteer.
“Weare under Hamas occupation, and if you ask most of us, we wouldrather be under Israeli occupation… We miss the days when we wereable to work inside Israel and make good money. We miss the securityand calm Israel provided when it was here.” – S., graduate ofan American university, former Hamas sympathizer.
Can I vouch for the veracity of these quotes? Nope. I wasn\’t there and didn\’t hear them.
But, knowing what I do about hamas – including video of hamas “leaders” telling people to stay in their homes – is it likely that they are? You bet it is.
These are the facts that the Israel/Jew haters prefer not to deal with….and the Useless Neutered UN wouldn\’t recognize in, oh, 5,775 years.

* Of course he is Palestinian. How could he not be? Jordan, like Israel, Gaza and Judea/Samaria (aka the west bank) is all part of the land area of Palestine. Everyone living in those places, regardless of their ancestry, religion or culture, is a Palestinian.
